I'll have a look into distutils2, I tough it was (another) dead end.
I every case my target is py2k (2.7.x) and I've no case for
transitioning to py3k (too much risk).

Hi,
I wonder if is it worth/if there is any interest in trying to "clean" up
distutils: nothing in terms to add new features, just a *major* cleanup
retaining the exact same interface.
I'm not planning anything like *adding features* or rewriting rpm/rpmbuild
here, simply cleaning up that un-holy code mess. Yes it served well, don't
get me wrong, and I think it did work much better than anything it was meant
to replace it.
I'm not into the py3 at all so I wonder how possibly it could fit/collide
into the big plan.
Or I'll be wasting my time?
The effort of making something that replaces distutils is, as far as I
can understand, currently on the level of taking the best bits out of
distutils2 and putting it into Python 3.4 under the name "packaging".
I'm sure that effort can need more help.
