  The Distutils have been included with Python since 1.6a1, and Distutils
! 0.9.2 is the same as the code 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

+ Release 0.9.3 (26 September, 2000):
+ -----------------------------------
+   * added --plat-name option to bdist and bdist_dumb commands
+ 
+   * added --python and --fix-python options to bdist_rpm, for better
+     control over which Python interpreter is hard-coded in the .spec file
+ 
+   * fixed default installation directories for Mac OS; now all
+     modules and extensions go to <prefix>:Lib:site-packages
+ 
+   * fixed the "clean" command so it cleans up the build directory
+     for scripts (build/scripts by default) (Bastian Kleineidam)
+ 
+   * more improvements to the bdist_wininst command and the
+     installers it generates: ....... (Thomas Heller)
+ 
+   * fix the "sdist" command so it deals better with missing, empty,
+     or broken MANIFEST and MANIFEST.in files
+ 
+   * fixed so the bdist_dumb comand can be run multiple times (eg.
+     to create ZIP and tarball dumb distributions) (bug spotted
+     by Rene Liebscher)
+ 
+   * fixed so the bdist_ext command respects 'define_macros' and
+     'undef_macros' instructions in Extension objects
+ 
+   * internal change: made the sysconfig module parse Python's Makefile
+     lazily, and provide the data via a function rather than module-level
+     global variables
+ 
+   * fix install and bdist_wininst commands so Windows installers
+     created on other platforms include scripts and data files
+ 
+   * various fixes to handling of config files
+ 
+ 
  Release 0.9.2 (31 August, 2000):
