[IronPython] Fwd: Status updated to Closed for Issue: distutils "install" command will not install a simple module. [IronPython: 28530]

Jeff:
  You are right to close this bug -- I made a bad report based on an
incorrect assumption. But I would not have been led astray if the error
message had not been so obscure.  It should SAY just exactly what you said:
"elevation is required."  IMHO the distutils error reporting should be
improved.
 My question for you: Is IronPython distutils a special version (and we can
fix it here) or straight from the Python Standard Library (and it must be
fixed there)?
  Perhaps I can supply a patch, but I need to know where to send it.
