distutils: different names in src and dist/build

Hi,

is it possible to have different names between the original package name 
and that which will be installed?

Example:

setup.py
src/
     sdk/
         __init__.py
         startme.py

This usually creates a distribution file like sdk-0.6.2.tar.gz, which 
may create

site-packages/
     sdk/

But I would like to have a MySDK-0.6.2.tar.gz and in

site-packages/
     MySDK/

Of course with-out changing the original src package name "sdk" to 
"MySDK" (which likely would be the easiest way, hum).

Any suggestion or link how I can achieve this?

Many thanks,
Anastasios
