  The Distutils have been included with Python since 1.6a1, and Distutils
! 0.9.1 is approximately the code that will be included with Python 2.0b1
! (modulo bug fixes).  Thus, there's generally no need to install the
! Distutils under Python 1.6/2.0.  However, Distutils releases may
! occasionally get ahead of Python releases, so if you really like life on
! the bleeding edge, you might want to install this Distutils release into
! your Python 1.6/2.0 library.
  
  To do this, you'll need to hide the original Distutils package directory

*** 1,2 ****
--- 1,15 ----
+ Release 0.9.2 (31 August, 2000):
+ -------------------------------
+   * fixed bug that broke extension-building under Windows for older
+     setup scripts (not using the new Extension class)
+ 
+   * new version of bdist_wininst command and associated tools: fixes
+     some bugs, produces a smaller exeuctable, and has a nicer GUI
+     (thanks to Thomas Heller)
+ 
+   * added some hooks to 'setup()' to allow some slightly sneaky ways
+     into the Distutils, in addition to the standard "run 'setup()'
+     from a setup script"
+ 
  Release 0.9.1 (15 August, 2000):
