Christian, thanks for the pointer. I think you're right, I probably am actually
wanting this to be fixed in setuptools, not distutils, since setuptools is what
people are using today. Since setuptools is an offshoot of distutils, I had
assumed that the developers of setuptools would take ownership of any remaining
distutils bugs that affected setuptools but I guess not. I looked through the
setuptools issue tracker and this was the closest existing bug I could find:
