The distutils-sig group (copied) might be good.  Especially when I'm 
unsure of the answer like now ;)

Hi Jos.  I'm not really sure what cli.exe is, but then I don't really

monkeypatch of setuptools is breaking the attempt to find cli.exe... :(

(I still really wish I didn't have to monkeypatch setuptools, but I do)
