I’ve made more edits than the bug report suggested to make sure the
generated setup script is compatible with many Python versions; a
comment in the source explains that in detail.

The cfg_to_args function uses old 2.x idioms like codecs.open and
RawConfigParser.readfp because I want the setup.py generated by packaging and
distutils2 to be the same.  Most users won’t see the deprecation warning and I
ignore it in the test suite.

Thanks to David Barnett for the report and original patch.
