Hi all,
   I have released a new version of the win32all extensions.  I have 
also changed significantly the way I release them.

The significant changes to the build/release process are:
* These extensions are now built with distutils, and also distributed 
using the distutils builtin binary installer - WISE is no longer used. 
A huge thank-you to Thomas Heller for creating the initial distutils 
script and for guiding me along the way.

* There is now a single build number for all supported Python versions. 
  For example, the new build 200 is available for both Python 2.2 and 
Python 2.3 (whereas previously one build number applied only to a single 
Python version, even when the builds were otherwise identical)

* To mark this change in the way build numbers are managed, but to 
continue to re-inforce this is a build number rather than a "version 
number", the build number has jumped to 200.

* The installation name now reflects the SourceForge project name 
(pywin32), and I will slowly start refering to these extensions as 
either "the pywin32" or "the Python for Windows" extensions - the name 
'win32all' will slowly drop off (PendingDeprecationWarning anyone? <wink>)

* Thanks to distutils, a source distribution is also released.

The change-log and downloads are available via the project's SourceForge 
page:

All comments appreciated!

Regards,

Mark.
