[Distutils] Setuptools/Distribute error with 0.7.2

[Julian Berman]

(I was also getting this until I used easy_install to upgrade)

What is supposed to happen with stuff that used to do `use_setuptools()` in
their setup.py now?

I upgraded to setuptools 0.7.2, but now if I try to install a thing that
has that in the setup.py, it seems to want to try and install distribute,
and I get:
