It's in a state that other people can look at the code, but (apparently)
not yet good enough for floods of patches to come in.  Right now,
Distutils has *just* enough marbles to "build" and install itself on
Unix systems, and someone has contributed a patch so it works on NT.  No
support yet for compiling extensions, which of course is the important
thing.
