Currently it only covers what distutils/setuptools already do - i.e. build_py functionality + build_ext functionality covering libraries, extensions, setuptools Features, Cython / Pyrex and Fortran / f2py. Not too shabby, but clearly that's not enough. Instead of compiler classes (the abstractions used in distutils / setuptools), distil's approach focuses on a command line with variable placeholders - this allows just about anything to be plugged in for custom builds. There's still work to be done on it, but the initial approach looks promising.
