The distutils tickets are resolved.

Any comments on the schedule or tickets?
Before the first beta can be released I think #1748 should be fixed.
Before the first RC the Solaris segfaults should be investigated, and
documentation for the new iterator (Python docstrings and C API docs)
and datetime should be written.
Also, some testing on 64-bit Windows would be great, that usually
turns up new issues so the sooner the better.
