Patch #102588 / PEP 229:
The final piece of this change...
Strip down Setup.config.in and Setup.dist to the minimal sets required
to get a working Python; setup.py will handle the rest

-
-# Modules that provide persistent dictionary-like semantics. You will
-# probably want to arrange for at least one of them to be available on
-# your machine, though none are defined by default because of library
-# dependencies. The Python module anydbm.py provides an
-# implementation independent wrapper for these; dumbdbm.py provides
-# similar functionality (but slower of course) implemented in Python.
-
-# The standard Unix dbm module has been moved to Setup.config so that
-# it will be compiled as a shared library by default. Compiling it as
-# a built-in module causes conflicts with the pybsddb3 module since it
-# creates a static dependency on an out-of-date version of db.so.

-# The Expat dist includes Windows .lib and .dll files. Home page is at
-# http://www.jclark.com/xml/expat.html, the current production release is
-# always ftp://ftp.jclark.com/pub/xml/expat.zip.
-#
-# EXPAT_DIR, below, should point to the expat/ directory created by
-# unpacking the Expat source distribution.
-#
-# Note: the expat build process doesn't yet build a libexpat.a; you can
-# do this manually while we try convince the author to add it. To do so,
-# cd to EXPAT_DIR, run "make" if you have not done so, then run:
-#
-# ar cr libexpat.a xmltok/*.o xmlparse/*.o
