New submission from Éric Araujo <mer...@netwok.org>:

packaging still uses the DISTUTILS_USE_SDK environment variable to tweak 
compilation on Windows.  Do we want to change the name?  Pro: separates 
distutils and packaging, con: requires users to set one more var during the 
transition period.

I don’t know if MSSdk is distutils-specific (on which case the same question 
about renaming or not applies) or if it is a Windows envvar used by many tools 
(in which case packaging can continue to use it too).
