docs.python.org should provide a distutils reference, and drop the
 "Installing/Distributing Python Modules" guides in deference to the PUG.
and setuptools (as an extension of distutils) should provide a *complete*
index of commands/options that covers everything, not just what it changed
or added, because it's too hard for users to keep track of what's pure vs
modified.  That's my plan in the refactor of the setuptools docs I'm
working on.
