Content
packaging still uses the DISTUTILS_USE_SDK environment variable to tweak compilation on Windows. Do we want to change the name? Pro: separates distutils and packaging, con: requires users to set one more var during the transition period. I don’t know if MSSdk is distutils-specific (on which case the same question about renaming or not applies) or if it is a Windows envvar used by many tools (in which case packaging can continue to use it too).
