Maybe. I look forward when I can install my binary kernel
as setuptools egg.

Or did you mean that the goal was not to unify sw management 
so that computer illeterates could install software without
reading zillion different README's and learning different 
systems?

You got me wrong in that point. I just try not to express 
it publicly as it typically doesn't help anything. :-)

I did for this year. If I got the right picture, I try to
stay away anything what uses setuptools. I think that it's 
just trying to solve problems inside python sandbox
what is just 1% of the whole sw management issue and
at the same time it's making it impossible to be solved
properly where it should be done.
