[PyKDE] qscintilla fix -> pyqt_distutils

[Hans-Peter Jansen]

Hi Gerard,

you may have noticed, that I've announced among others things your 
current PyQwt package. Since I'm a bit tight timewise at the moment 
(because my girlfriend :), just let me attest, your package builds 
without a hitch! Therefore I haven't even needed to take a single
look into it, thus your rewritten pyqt_* stuff gone by unnoticed ;-)
Will do it soon. (For my vindication, this was after my qscintilla 
build note). 

Thanks,
Pete

Really cool news.
