[Distutils] setuptools still supported on Python 2.3?

I noticed when installing setuptools on Python 2.3 that easy_install
fails because it tries to import subprocess, which is a new module in
2.4. I personally do not need Python 2.3 support any longer, but the
docs say it should be supported, which seems to be only partly true.

The rest of setuptools seems to work on Python 2.3 still, although I
haven't tried it in practice. But the tests run.
