---------------------------+---------------------------
 Since the upgrade of py-setuptools to version 74.0.0 all packages
 requiring Gobject and needing g-ir-scanner do not configure anymore with
 error message :

 {{{

 ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils.msvccompiler'

 }}}

 Found the difference concerning version-72.2.0 and the new one 74.0.0
 The msvccompiler is build in both versions. With one exception. In the
 version-72.2.0 We find the same compiler module under 2 names :
 - -msvccompiler.py
 - msvccompiler.py

 With version 74.0.0. only one name
 - -msvccompiler.py

 Since g-ir-scanner is only searching under the name :
 - distutils.msvccompiler
 it does not find it.

 How to solve ? I do not know. But this is a critical issue.

 I downgraded py-setuptools for the time.
