Update of /cvsroot/python/python/dist/src/Lib/distutils
In directory usw-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv10235

Modified Files:
	dist.py 
Log Message:
Make the Distribution() constructor forgiving of unknown keyword
arguments, triggering a warning instead of raising an exception.  (In
1.5.2/2.0, it will print to stderr.)

Bugfix candidate for all previous versions.  This changes behaviour,
but the old behaviour wasn't very useful.  If Distutils version X+1
adds a new keyword argument, using the new keyword means your setup.py 
file won't work with Distutils version X any more.
