It's unfortunate that this comes in a minor release. But at the same
time we can hardly avoid fixing bugs just because setuptools isn't
getting updated at the moment. It's a lose-lose situation.

As I see it this will speed up adaptation of Distribute. Word will
spread. It's not ideal, but then it's not a perfect world.
