Thomas Heller d2d58e0496 First version which runs an install-script (specified by the
--install-script ... command line option to bdist_wininst) at the end
of the installation and at the start of deinstallation.  Output
(stdout, stderr) of the script (if any) is displayed in the last
screen at installation, or in a simple message box at deinstallation.

sys.argv[1] for the script will contain '-install' at installation
time or '-remove' at deinstallation time.

The installation script runs in an environment (embedded by the
bdist_wininst runtime) where an additional function is available as
builtin:

create_shortcut(path, description, filename,
	        [arguments[, workdir[, iconpath, iconindex]]])

This directory contains only a subset of the Distutils, specifically the
Python modules in the 'distutils' and 'distutils.command' packages.
Technically, this is all you need to distribute and install Python modules
using the Distutils.  Most people will want some documentation and other
help, though.  Currently, everything can be found at the Distutils web page:

    http://www.python.org/sigs/distutils-sig/

From there you can access the latest documentation, or download a standalone
Distutils release that includes all the code in this directory, plus
documentation, test scripts, examples, etc.

The Distutils documentation isn't yet part of the standard Python
documentation set, but will be soon.
