the Distutils work just fine with Python 1.5, and it is reasonable (and
expected to become commonplace) to expect users of Python 1.5 to
download and install the Distutils separately before they can install
your modules. Python 1.6 users, of course, won't have to add anything

to their Python installation in order to use the Distutils to install
