Bug #740398: Optik on Python 2.2.1

Hi all -- I've received a bug report that Optik's setup script crashes
under Python 2.2.1 (see
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=740398&group_id=38019&atid=421097).

This is a pretty clear Distutils bug that wasn't fixed until Python
2.2.2; I'm pretty sure this patch to Optik:

--- setup.py    8 May 2003 01:21:28 -0000       1.16
+++ setup.py    18 Jun 2003 01:19:00 -0000

       packages = ["optik", ""],
      )

will successfully dodge the bug.  However, I don't have a Python 2.2.1
build handy.  If you do, can you 1) try "python setup.py install" with
Optik 1.4.1 (or current CVS) to verify that it crashes, and 2) apply the
above patch and verify that it fixes the problem?  I'm especially
interested to hear from you if you're using Windows or Mac OS; I can
test it myself on Linux.

Thanks --

        Greg
