[Distutils] distutils & win9x

[Robin Becker]

Hi, I'm trying out distutils-0.1 and find a few problems. I tried to do 
python Setup.py -v install

and got errors about C:\PYTHON already existing. This is because it appears that
os.pathg.isdir('C:\\PYTHON\\') returns 0 for Win95 OSR2. I got round this by inserting the line

    name=os.path.dirname(name)

at the beginning of mkpath in utils.py; however I am now getting the error

running install
running build
running build_py
creating build
creating build\lib
copying distutils\version.py -> build\lib\distutils
