The original pyvenv script did install Distribute and pip, but that
functionality was removed before beta because Distribute and pip are
third-party packages. If that restriction is lifted, we can easily replace
the pyvenv script in Python with pyvenvex, and then (as I understand it)
that is equivalent to an implicit bootstrap.
