Hmmm - looking at it further, I think there might be problems with simplistic
handling of dependencies in wheeler. Consider that a distribution might be a
purelib, but its dependencies might be platlibs. Since the Wheel format doesn't
allow for both purelib and platlib, one would have to presumably consider any
mixed wheel as platlib? I will think on it some more, but for now it's probably
safest to update wheeler.py to add --no-deps to the flags passed to pip, so that
you get no dependencies included.

Perhaps Daniel can chime in here.
