I've just checked in a change to lxml that refactors lxml's setup.py to be more hackable.

I've also made everything depend in a hard way on setuptools being available on the system - I think supporting old-style distutils is just going to be too much of a distraction to maintain properly.

I think it would then be a good idea to add the ez_setup.py script to SVN. This would allow users that do not have setuptools installed but have an online connection to have setup.py download it for them automatically (and use it from the current directory). Stefan
