[Distutils] Python 3.3 / packaging - how to make installation conditional on platform?

This is not a design choice but a bug: http://bugs.python.org/issue11637
We definitely want to support project-local hooks module, as they will
certainly be used a lot during the transition years.

I’m not sure data files support environment markers.  Anyway, please
report any info missing from the docs, they’re far from complete.

Thanks for trying out packaging!
