Hi!

(I first posted this to distutils-sig but was told that distutils is a bit neglected there, so I decided to try to push these simple patches in via python-dev.) Lately, a student came to me complaining about an old distutils bug which bit him: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/patches/2006-August/020642.html

The patch is quite trivial and cannot possibly break something AFAICS, so could someone please apply it? (Hmm, now that I write this; we are still using python 2.4.4 here, so maybe it has been fixed in between?)
