Greg Ward c58c517741 Patch from Rene Liebscher. Some ugly changes, but supposedly this makes
it so BCPPCompiler actually works, so I'm provisionally accepting it
-- ugly and working is better than not working!  Major changes:
  - normalize paths (apparently BC++ doesn't like slashes)
  - overhauled how we search for and specify libraries on the linker
    command-line
  - hacked up 'find_library_file()' so it knows about "debug" library
    naming convention as well as "bcpp_xxx.lib" -- the question is,
    is this a well-established and sensible convention?
Also:
  - change to use 'util.write_file()' to write the .def file

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.
