Thanks for working on it.

I think Build/ is the right place.

No. Now that everything seems to work with DistUtils I'd like to abandon 
this directory completely.

No. We should stick with one way which is DistUtils.

Hmm, can web apply changes one-by-one? I'd really like to see in the diff 
what was changed.

I already tried this to avoid DistUtils warning messages. Unfortunately this 
doesn't work with Python versions prior 2.3.

error: build_py: supplying both 'packages' and 'py_modules' options is not 
allowed

Note that this is the CVS version. There's no release of 2.0.0pre14 yet.

Which version of Cyrus SASL? Is the name 'libsasl' also version dependent 
like on Linux/Unices (sasl vs. sasl2)?

Could you please send it to me personally? I will make it available as 
public download with experimental status.

Glad you didn't... ;-)
