Found it! A presentation of Ian Bicking's,
http://ianbicking.org/docs/setuptools-presentation/
slide 21.
Ian's recommended usage is to put the following into setup.py:
from ez_setup import use_setuptools
use_setuptools()
from setuptools import setup
...
So you need to include ez_setup if you want to use the nifty features of
setuptools while still allowing Python naive users to use your package.
...or am I missing something?
