I've released version 0.1.1 of distil, downloadable from [1]. It's based
on distlib 0.1.2. The other changes are as follows:

* Added "distil init" to support creating an initial version of
  package.json metadata, which can then be added to during development.
* Added "distil link" to support "editable" installations, similar to
  pip install -e local_dir.
* Take into account pre-confirmation (-y) during uninstallation when dists
  that are no longer needed are found. These are now removed automatically
  when -y is specified.
* Fixed error in setting up SSL certificate verification, and adjusted PyPI
  URLs to be https:// where specified as http:// in metadata. Successful
  SSL verification is now logged.
* Added --local-dists option to allow local wheels and sdists to be used
  for installation.
* Fixed a bug in the handling of local archives (e.g. those returned
  through a configured DirectoryLocator). Local archives shouldn’t be
  deleted after unpacking.
* Added --python-tags argument to distil package when building wheels to
  configure the tags for the built wheel.
* Added --no-unpack option to distil download.
* Fixed problem with rollback on error caused by not recording SHARED and
  RECORD correctly.
* Fixed bug in writing entry points (EXPORTS) file.
* Use of 2to3 now defaults to True when run under 3.x.
* Fixed bug when run in venvs which caused e.g. dist-packages to be used
  instead of site-packages.
* Improved error message when run with Python 2.5 (not supported, but this
  is now clear from the error message).

Your feedback will be gratefully received!
