More accurately, it appears setuptools *does* support PEP 345 style
environment markers, it just isn't documented at
http://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/setuptools.html#declaring-dependencies*sigh*

I filed a setuptools issue about the missing docs, but also suggested the
IPython folks wait for pip 1.5 to get the install-time script handling and
other wheel related fixes.

Cheers,
Nick.
