[Distutils] Time for a setuptools_lite??

[Chris Barker]

Sorry all -- on vacation and only semi-online for a while...

I'd managed to miss Flit's creation, so I simply wasn't aware of it.

neither did I - and it does look intriguing, though not (yet) what I had in
mind. "my" idea of setuptool-lite would be a drop-in replacement for the
parts of setuptools that we want to continue to support. i.e. not nearly as
crippled as flit.

That being said, *I* don't have any use for pkg_resources, so maybe flit is
pretty close :-)

but sdists are key.
