Summary:                    Missing distutils
Description: 
The GAR Makefile refers to distutils as a separate package, but it isn't
there in the catalog. The main Python package doesn't contain distutils, so
the end result is that there's no way for our users to install distutils
from OpenCSW.

I would suggest including distutils in the main Python package, because
the cost of splitting it (human frustration) is higher than the benefit (a
couple kB on disk).

Distutils now belong to the CSWpython package.
