I readily agree that the documentation can be improved, and applaud
efforts to do so. And I have no doubts that distutils is difficult to
learn for a beginner.

In Talin's remarks, there was also the suggestion that distutils is
"in need of some serious refactoring". It is such remarks that get
me started: it seems useless to me to make such a statement if they
are not accompanied with concrete proposals what specifically to
change. It also gets me upset because it suggests that all prior
contributors weren't serious.

Regards,
Martin
