| http://docs.python.org/distutils/apiref.html?highlight=XXX#module-distutils.ccompiler We find lots of "XXX" and "XXX see also." which give no information. |

| Tarek ruled that time spent improving the distutils docs was time lost and better spent on distutils2. Accordingly, I only fix clear bugs in the doc but don’t improve them in any way. I’m inclined to close this as wontfix, or I can remove the XXX if you’re strongly against them. (For the packaging docs, I will fix them properly.) |

| I would make comments out of the XXX, and if a whole section is just that XXX, remove the section as well. |

| These are the XXX: XXX true? does ANSI say anything about this? XXX defaults to what? XXX see also. XXX see also. XXX see also. XXX see also. XXX see also. The first two are questions that can be answered, and when I research them for the packaging docs I could also backport the changes to the distutils docs; what to do for the other instances is less clear, so just deleting may be better than turning them into comments that will never get solved. |

| The proposed solution is ok. It sounds like unfinished documentation when you hit an "XXX". For the "/dev/" documentation, it's OK, but for the released version, we should avoid it. |
