This won't work correctly unless you have only one such plugin
installed, so the feature needs to be explicitly configured for one
specific plugin.

Attach it to this outstanding feature request:
http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/issue42
As you'll see, there's been some previous discussion for this, and I
do plan to make pluggable revision support available in 0.7. It will
probably be similar to the most recent patch attached to that issue,
with a change to the option name and a few other tweaks.
