Hi,

Im building a binary distribution on linux for my project with:

# python setup.py bdist_wininst

The .exe installer is generated correctly, and runs perfect on the windows xp host, but the problem is that, as this host doesn't have already setuptools installed, it gives an error when running one of the scripts complaining about missing dependencies (pkg_resources, for example).

I wonder if, for bdist_wininst builds is there a way to do an auto-installation of setuptools. I've already put:

from ez_setup import use_setuptools use_setuptools()

in setup.py, but thats seems to work just for installing with #python setup.py install

Thanks a lot for your help.
