Some more updates:

I tested my changes few places where it was breaking is now fixed but
the CDBS dependency string is still broken and I'm  checking why its not
working.

Added more tests distutils-12.sh building only pypy- binary and
distutils-13.sh mimics package with all 3 types of binary which is
normally the usecase of this integration. All tests are passing at the
moment.

Do have a look at the changes and let me know what can be improved

Best Regards
