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.

ESR also mentioned libpng, but I don't know of a Python module
that uses it.
How does all this fit in with distutils?
