Yeah, but the process of setting up a virtualenv installs setuptools and 
makes it available to the virtualenv.

Rather than installing setuptools, I'd like it to install distribute and 
use that instead.

I don't want to install distribute over setuptools in the virtualenv and 
wondering if that worked like it should...
