Why would ordinary end-users of an application written in Python need
distutils?  They will get their application as a py2exe executable (or
similar) on Windows, as a distro package on linux and on Mac OS X there
is py2app IIRC.  And even if they had distutils installed, most of them
won't know how to use it.
