+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?
