[Distutils] Script processing plugins?

[Phillip J. Eby]

Okay, so after today's discussions I'm still not really clear on how path 
freezing (baking, whatever) should work for standalone setuptools.  Would 
it solve the problem for your use cases if I provided an option like 
"--script-wrappers=plugin1,plugin2,...", where the plugin names are entry 
points that would get a chance to modify the contents of generated 
scripts?  That way, you guys could experiment freely with your 
script-wrapping strategies without having to monkeypatch.  And any tools 
that you build which wrap easy_install can simply add the necessary 
setting(s) to an appropriate .cfg file.
