I wrote one of them ;) -- obviously I could fix that one, but once I do 
I lose the opportunity to make sure the tool worked with The World We 
Have Now.  And then there's still two other packages -- the flup 
servers, and PySourceColor.py, which is distributed as a single .py file 
(which is one of the more common cases where distutils isn't used).
