True enough - I expect that at least some of the distribute maintainers read this list, so perhaps they can take this post as an invitation to take a look. I just merged with the latest changes in the official distribute branch. All tests pass on Python 2.6 and 3.2; the earlier errors on 2.4 and 2.5 (attempting writes to a system site-packages directory) still remain.
