I think it's a fork of Virtualenv, no? Which uses a fork of distribute. :)

We should get virtualenv to support Python3, and I suspect that means
we need to get it to support Distribute on Python 2 as well, which
probably is a good thing anyway. I do fear trying to understand how it
works though, but maybe we can bribe/trick Ian into doing all the work
it himself. :-)
