  Relase 1.0.2pre(XXX, 2001):
  --------------------------------
+   * fixes to accommodate the major revisions made to Python's build system 
+     for 2.1.  (This will break the Distutils for 1.5.2 and 2.0, though; 
+     it should be made backward compatible.)
+ 
+   * from Thomas Heller: the installer generated by bdist_wininst now 
+     includes an uninstaller.  Other enhancements are:
+         
+         --bitmap command line option allows to use a different bitmap
+         file instead of the built-in python powered logo.  
+         
+         --title lets you specify the text to display on the
+ 	background.
+ 
+   * from Jack Jansen: added 'get_command_list()' method, and
+     Mac-specific code to use it to generate a dialog for users to
+     specify the command-line (because providing a command-line with
+     MacPython is awkward).
+   
+   * applied patches from Jack Jansen for the Mac and the Metrowerks compiler
+ 
+   * added 'platforms' and 'keywords' to the set of metadata that can be 
+     specified for a distribution.
+ 
    * the sdist command now writes a PKG-INFO file, as described in PEP 241,
      into the release tree.
+ 
+   * applied patches from Jason Tishler to make the compiler class work with
+     Cygwin.
+ 
+   * it's now compulsory to supply a version number.
+ 
+   * various bugfixes
