Greg Ward a4adafd55b Changed the semantics of the 'sub_commands' list: instead of function
objects, it now has method names.
Added three methods, 'has_lib()', 'has_scripts()', and 'has_data()'
  to determine if we need to run each of the three possible sub-commands.
Added 'get_sub_commands()' to take care of finding the methods named
  in 'sub_commands', running them, and interpreting the results to
  build a list of sub-commands that actually have to be run.

This directory contains only a subset of the Distutils, specifically the
Python modules in the 'distutils' and 'distutils.command' packages.
Technically, this is all you need to distribute and install Python modules
using the Distutils.  Most people will want some documentation and other
help, though.  Currently, everything can be found at the Distutils web page:

    http://www.python.org/sigs/distutils-sig/

From there you can access the latest documentation, or download a standalone
Distutils release that includes all the code in this directory, plus
documentation, test scripts, examples, etc.

The Distutils documentation isn't yet part of the standard Python
documentation set, but will be soon.
