New submission from dholth <dho...@fastmail.fm>:
In distutils2 there is currently no way to add files such as egg_info.txt that
should be part of the package metadata. A new category named the same as the
.dist-info directory would be a nice way to do it.
distutils2 should raise an error if any of the reserved files are overwritten
with this feature or it should just copy these first overwriting with the
reserved names.
It might be a good idea to disallow subdirectories in dist-info.
