[Distutils] PEP 513: A Platform Tag for Portable Linux Built Distributions Version

[Xavier Fernandez]

Hello,

The site.py solution seems appropriate but I'd be more in favor of a
`sys.supported_platform_tags =['manylinux1']` attribute, with an order of
preferences to ease the wheel selection when several such tags will be
added.

Regards,
Xavier
