If anyone else got at all confused by Tarek's email, s/3.x/3.x+1/ and
it will all make sense (the mentioned release numbers in the 3.x
series are all one lower than they should be - packaging is planned
for 3.3, but a standalone library will allow feedback to be gathered
from 2.x and 3.2 users before the API is 'locked in' for 3.3).

How far has packaging diverged from distutils2, though? Wasn't that
the planned venue for any backports in order to avoid name conflicts?

Cheers,
Nick.
