Summary: Distutils documentation amputated
Initial Comment:
Somewhere between the 2.0 and 2.1 documentation releases,
a big chunk of the Distributing Python Modules manual
seems to have gone missing.
Section 7 (Examples), 8 (Extending the Distutils) and most
of 9 (Reference) are absent. Section 7 contains a small
part of what used to be section 9.

You're right! I never thought to look any further than the
contents page.
I guess there's not much that can be done, then. But perhaps
at least there should be an "Extending the Distutils"
heading which says "Not written yet" or some such, because
other parts of the docs make explicit reference to this section!

Can you be specific about what text was lost? That is, what
revision of dist.tex contains the text that is missing? If
I look at the 2.0 release documentation, I see an empty
section named "Extending the distutils." I don't think
there was ever any text.
