Two thoughts for the wider audience:
1. Should pip re-vendor a newer version of distlib, so we have the exe wrappers? We currently have 0.1.1 and 0.1.2 is on PyPI.
In what way would that affect anyone?
2. Would writing a distutils extension class in setup.py to make the exe wrappers using the vendored distlib.scripts package be acceptable to remove the runtime dependency on pkg_resources from the wrappers?
Does that mean that an end user would need a C compiler in a situation where they previously didn't? Oscar
