you can also make your recipe run "pip install -U setuptools" separately
before moving on to the supervisor upgrade.  that will work and is maybe
easier

a setuptools person should probably speak to this, but I would say, don't
use this anymore.   use "ez_setup.py" which is for setuptools.
if you're starting an environment from scratch, just use the new setuptools.
