Summary: distutils module version # not StrictVer

Initial Comment:
There is a fairly detailed definition in the distutils 
module (in version.py) about valid (or Strict) version 
numbers.  However the version number of the distutils 
module does not conform to this numbering scheme.  
Specifically 

Python 2.1 (#15, Apr 16 2001, 18:25:49) [MSC 32 bit 
(Intel)] on win32
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more 
information.
>>> import distutils
>>> distutils.__version__
'1.0.2pre'
>>> from distutils.version import StrictVersion
>>> StrictVersion(distutils.__version__)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?

Fixed in the current CVS.  (This is also an obvious fix 
for 2.1.1.)
