setup.py ( today's cvs) doesn't work with python - 2.2.3  , at least on 
linux:

./setup.py
/usr/lib/python2.2/distutils/dist.py:215: UserWarning: Unknown distribution 
option: 'classifiers'
  warnings.warn(msg)

setup.py tests as follows:

# patch distutils if it can't cope with the "classifiers" keyword.
# this just makes it ignore it.
if sys.version < '2.2.3':
    from distutils.dist import DistributionMetadata
    DistributionMetadata.classifiers = None

I changed the test to < '2.2.4'.  Worked for me. But ... does it really work 
for 2.2.4 +?
