[reportlab-users] Anyone understand distutils

Doh.  I just had the wrong mixture of braces,
quotes and dots. If one puts this line as an
argument to setup(...), one can put the
setup.py script in reportlab/setup.py
and all works as expected.  
         
          package_dir = {'': '..'}

Expect to find an incomplete one there in CVS
tomorrow....
