Regarding resurrecting distutils support in PyGObject

[Fan Chun-wei <fanc999 yahoo com tw>]

Hello,

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I am currently looking at trying to resurrect the distutils support for 
building PyGObject, as the build of G-I using Visual C++ has now landed 
in its master branch, and I am starting from the setup.py/dsextras.py 
files that are supplied in PyGObject-2.28.6, so that one can develop 
using Python and PyGObject easier on the Windows/MSVC side, and AFAICT 
it would be a good test bed of G-I functionality on that platform.

As I am not that familiar with the distutils mechanism, I thought it 
might be helpful to me if I can find out:
-Any things I need to look out for when I try port the distutils items 
from 2.28.6 to the current/master branch, perhaps in particular the 
codegen items?
-Any other things that might be pointers or items of interest in the 
process?

With blessings, thank you!
