It's fixed. Added python distutils in "Minimum Requirements".

Dear Straw:

One other thing: If you don't want your new users to go crazy, please revise the prerequisites for Straw and add, especially, that distutils is available in Python2.3-Dev or earlier versions. I had to research the matter in Google to finally find the answer. Wouldn't it be so much nicer if ALL such pertinent information were available in the README file? Installing Straw (with all its dependencies) is a veritable nightmare. Why make it even more terrifying than it already is? It would also be a good idea to periodically revise the README file in general. E.g. I used Python 2.3 and Glade 2.0 instead of the earlier versions. Someone else might be too confused to go on.

Thank you.

Benjamin
