Uh, yes it does, actually.  (At least with setuptools, it does; don't 
know about distribute.)

Ernesto, does it work with the official setuptools?  (i.e., if you 
completely uninstall distribute and install setuptools instead)

If it doesn't work, you can file a bug at 
http://bugs.python.org/setuptools and I'll see what we can do to get 
your project fixed up.

(Just make sure you've *fully* uninstalled Distribute, and use 
ez_setup.py instead of distribute_setup.py, as Distribute does some 
patching that keeps setuptools from installing correctly.)
