[Python-checkins] python/dist/src/Lib/distutils core.py,1.51,1.52

Update of /cvsroot/python/python/dist/src/Lib/distutils
In directory usw-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv20944

Modified Files:
	core.py 
Log Message:
Add get_distutil_options(); future setup.py files can use this to check 
   whether the Distutils being used supports a particularly capability.

   (This idea was originally suggested by Juergen Hermann as a method 
    on the Distribution class.  I think it makes more sense as a 
    function in core.py, and that's what this patch implements.)
