include a distutils configuration

[GoogleCodeExporter]

PythonXY already comes with the Mingw32 Compiler.

According to
http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/CompilingExtensionsOnWindowsWithMinGW
one needs to configure the distutils to work with the compiler before being
able to comile python modules on windows.

This should be already done by the installer.

Install the attached file to:
pythonxy\python\Lib\distutils\

That is not really necessary because - to the best of my knowledge - that is
equivalent to specify the --compiler=mingw32 option when building a module. So
basically, without this configuration thing, the user is free to use MinGW or 
MSVC
7.1, or any other compiler.

I complied a package with:

python.exe setup.py --compiler=mingw32 bdist_wininst

and got:

error: option --compiler not recognized
Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden.

But with the tutorial at:
http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/CompilingExtensionsOnWindowsWithMinGW
it works.
