I had some time to finish my work, so I pushed all of my changes to
wip-python-pep517 and attached changes that do not fix individual packages
to this email. Since my last version I added support for building Python
2 packages, although we should really phase out Python 2 asap. I kept
support for nose and setup.py’s test target, because they are still
in use/valuable, but we can also remove them if you prefer.

Please have a look when time permits. If all is good we can move on to
fix failing packages.

Thank you very much,
Lars
