Greg Ward ceb9e226a6 Fixed some bugs and mis-features in handling config files: 
* options can now be spelled "foo-bar" or "foo_bar" (handled in
    'parse_config_files()', just after we parse a file)
  * added a "[global]" section so there's a place to set global
    options like verbose/quiet and dry-run
  * respect the "negative alias" dictionary so (eg.) "quiet=1" is
    the same as "verbose=0" (this had to be done twice: once in
    'parse_config_file()' for global options, and once in
    '_set_command_options()' for per-command options)
  * the other half of handling boolean options correctly: allow
    commands to list their boolean options in a 'boolean_options'
    class attribute, and use it to translate strings (like "yes", "1",
    "no", "0", etc) to true or false

README 

This directory contains only a subset of the Distutils, specifically the
Python modules in the 'distutils' and 'distutils.command' packages.
Technically, this is all you need to distribute and install Python modules
using the Distutils.  Most people will want some documentation and other
help, though.  Currently, everything can be found at the Distutils web page:

    http://www.python.org/sigs/distutils-sig/

From there you can access the latest documentation, or download a standalone
Distutils release that includes all the code in this directory, plus
documentation, test scripts, examples, etc.

The Distutils documentation isn't yet part of the standard Python
documentation set, but will be soon.
