Verify that feature makes sense in context of distribution

        This method is called by the distribution just before it parses its
        command line.  It checks to ensure that the 'remove' attribute, if any,
        contains only valid package/module names that are present in the base
        distribution when 'setup()' is called.  You may override it in a
        subclass to perform any other required validation of the feature
        against a target distribution.
