1This is a copy of the Distutils package from Python (currently version
22.3a2.) This newer copy of distutils is used for all versions of
3Python to avoid some problems in the older versions that show up in
4wxPython builds and to avoid having to make some ugly hacks in local
5modules to work around them.

7There is one little 1-line customization (hack) in msvccompiler.py
8that allows the CFLAGS to be given on the RC.EXE command line. This
9is required so the wx.rc files can be found when it is #included. I've
10submitted this patch to the Python project so if it gets into the main
11Distutils distribution I can remove this code. (However, the newer
12version of distutils should still always be used, at least on Windows,
13so it will need to wait until there it a Distutils distribution that
14can be installed on the older Pythons.)

16I have not yet applied any patches specifically for MSCV 7 yet. So
17far it appears that if you have the PATH setup properly (like I
18usually do) that distutils works as is.
