[Distutils] what's new in distutils?

[Pete Shinners]

i was trying to figure out what changes have been put into
distutils since the python2.0 release (distutils 1.01)

i looked into the cvs repository on sourceforge, but it
doesn't look like anything has been checked in their for
over 3 months (since the 1.01 release?)

anyways, i've been seeing a lot of enhancements come in
over this time, and am just wondering what the state of
distutils is in now. also, what are the planned features
to make it into the python 2.1 release?
