In the current code the filename must be setup.cfg. I think the rise of distributed version control systems and usable packaging tools like pip and buildout (and setuptools’ namespace package feature) have encouraged the separation of projects into separate libraries, each one with its repository and setup.py file. That may be the reason why setup.cfg is hard-coded in distutils2.
What do other people think about this? Is the ability to create more than one Python distribution from one directory something we really need? (MAL: I think you use a similar system for your mx releases, please ignore this if I remembered wrong.)
