This is what I thought, and I agree.  It would be fine to use distutils for
the things its good at: packaging and installing Python modules and
packages.  But I think we also need supporting install software (ala maybe
something generated by autoconf or written manually) to help install the
bits of the software that are not Python modules and packages.
