+Connection to Distutils
+
+    Since Python 2.0 comes with a new mechanism of distributing Python 
+    modules, called ``distutils'', we should be able to use it. Specificially,
+    since distutils has the capability or building Python modules in an
+    automatic fashion, it is hoped that some of the work will consist in
+    creating a new directory with the source, and having the ``super-make''
+    run "./setup --install" in those directories. This should at least take
+    care of PIL, NumPy and Pmw. In addition, it is hoped that this mechanism
+    will be easy enough to add other Python modules as user requests direct
+    us.
