Phil,

That's all any of us have ever actually asked...

If you could relinquish your cold iron grip on setuptools, we could get 
on with the work there, under one package, leaving one obvious way to do 
things (as it should be in the python world) without having all this 
wasteful discussion...

Seriously, I suspect all you'd need to do is give access to the 
distribution named "setuptools" on PyPI and the various volunteers could 
make the rest work...
