[Distutils] bdist_wininst build and ez_setup.py

[Matias Surdi]

Hi,

Im building a binary distribution on linux for my project with:

# python setup.py bdist_wininst


The .exe installer is generated correctly, and runs perfect on the 
windows xp host, but the problem is that, as this host doesn't have 
already setuptools installed, it gives an error when running one of the 
scripts complaining about missing dependencies (pkg_resources, for example).

I wonder if, for bdist_wininst builds is there a way to do an 
auto-installation of setuptools.
I've already put:


from ez_setup import use_setuptools
use_setuptools()


in setup.py, but thats seems to work just for installing with
#python setup.py install


Thanks a lot for your help.
