Essentially pip can not upgrade distribute or setuptools on Python 3.

This is annoying, and it seems the easiest way to solve it is to stop
using 2to3 for distribute.
This is a massive change though, and since the test coverage is dismal
its' going to create loads of bugs. But perhaps we simply need to
accept that.
