reverted distutils its 3.1 state. All new work is now happening in disutils2, and distutils is now feature-frozen.

reverting partially distutils to its 2.6.x state so 2.7a4 looks more like the 2.7b1 in this. the whole revert will occur after a4 is tagged

unicode, and a few other compensating changes, e.g. str <- unicode,
chr <- unichr, and repr() of a unicode string no longer starts
with 'u'.  Lots of unit tests are broken, but some basic things
work, in particular distutils works so the extensions can be built,
and test_builtin.py works.

 * all calls to functions in the string module (except maketrans)
 * everything from stropmodule except for maketrans() which is still used

   have two tuples listing the legal keywords for setup() and Extension()

[#413582] g++ must be called for c++ extensions
[#454030] distutils cannot link C++ code with GCC

topdir = "Lib/distutils"

* bcppcompiler.py
  (BCPPCompiler.create_static_lib): Fixed prototype, removing extra_preargs
  and extra_postargs parameters. Included target_lang parameter.
  (BCPPCompiler.link): Included target_lang parameter.

* msvccompiler.py
  (MSVCCompiler.create_static_lib): Fixed prototype, removing extra_preargs
  and extra_postargs parameters. Included target_lang parameter.
  (MSVCCompiler.link): Included target_lang parameter.

* ccompiler.py
  (CCompiler): New language_map and language_order attributes, used by
  CCompiler.detect_language().

  (CCompiler.detect_language): New method, will return the language of
  a given source, or list of sources. Individual source language is
  detected using the language_map dict. When mixed sources are used,
  language_order will stablish the language precedence.

  (CCompiler.create_static_lib, CCompiler.link, CCompiler.link_executable,
   CCompiler.link_shared_object, CCompiler.link_shared_lib):
  Inlcuded target_lang parameter.

* cygwinccompiler.py
  (CygwinCCompiler.link): Included target_lang parameter.

* emxccompiler.py
  (EMXCCompiler.link): Included target_lang parameter.

* mwerkscompiler.py
  (MWerksCompiler.link): Included target_lang parameter.

* extension.py
  (Extension.__init__): New 'language' parameter/attribute, initialized
  to None by default. If provided will overlap the automatic detection
  made by CCompiler.detect_language(), in build_ext command.

* sysconfig.py
  (customize_compiler): Check Makefile for CXX option, and also the
  environment variable CXX. Use the resulting value in the 'compiler_cxx'
  parameter of compiler.set_executables().

* unixccompiler.py
  (UnixCCompiler): Included 'compiler_cxx' in executables dict, defaulting
  to 'cc'.
  (UnixCCompiler.create_static_lib): Included target_lang parameter.
  (UnixCCompiler.link): Included target_lang parameter, and made
  linker command use compiler_cxx, if target_lang is 'c++'.

* command/build_ext.py
  (build_ext.build_extension): Pass new ext.language attribute
  to compiler.link_shared_object()'s target_lang parameter. If
  ext.language is not provided, detect language using
  compiler.detect_language(sources) instead.

* command/config.py
  (config._link): Pass already available lang parameter as target_lang
  parameter of compiler.link_executable().

depends is a list of files that the target depends, but aren't direct
sources of the target.  think .h files.

Question for Jack Jansen: is this reasonable?

Candidate for 2.2 release branch (if Jack thinks it's OK).
