Very nice!

Yes, I can think about some uses for it.

Hey... I'd never remove it. :-)

Btw, we're using part of distutils (you're the main author, afaik) in
two "semi-internal" projects (semi, because it is for our own use, but
it's being published on sourceforge). Since there was no copyright
notice in the files, I've just included a reference to distutils in all
"borrowed" files. I've also changed the line parsing mechanism to do
some extra features (multiple options with same name and mixed options
and arguments).

See ya!
