* Port bundled distro to use optparse instead of argparse (py2.6)
* Use an absolute import to satisfy the current import testing harness
* Port from subprocess.check_output to subprocess.Popen.communicate() (py2.6)
* Add license location
The changes have been proposed upstream here:
https://github.com/nir0s/distro/pull/232
Upstream is contemplating a branch where everyone wanting python-2.6
support can collaborate without it becoming part of the regularly
supported releases.
Since the 'platform.dist()' and 'platform.linux_distribution()'
methods will be removed from future versions of python, this
provides an alternative to replace ansibles use of those
methods.
