Ah, distutils are distributed in the base package now, but not the
'config' subdirectory of a standard library's normal installation, which
makes distutils a bit useless.

I should go and file a bug, I guess.  The reason why I did not do it so
far, is that the fact that no one did tends to show that they really
think distributing 'config' is not the "right" thing to do.  A reasoning
along the lines of: "this subdir contains include files, so it should go
in the python-dev package".  I'm not too interested in fighting this
kind of preconception.

A bientot,

Armin.
