Distutils for windows is very, very dead.. grave-ware in-fact.
Now that is not true at all. We have a native Windows installer (bdist_wininst) and an MSI builder (bdist_msi) that both work great on Windows.
Plus there are add-ons for other installers such as NSIS and InnoSetup.
Please don't forget that setuptools is not distutils, it's just a package extending distutils. If you find bugs related to Windows, please file a bug report. If you have specific proposals for distutils on Windows, you can use the mailing list or send patches to the tracker.
The ham/egg ratio on the mailing list tends to be very much on the egg side, so the tracker can help get more attention from folks doing distutils without setuptools.
