I guess I wasn't clear -- the idea was to force myself to use pip install,
rather than ever doing a plain

setup.py install or
setup.py develop

so:
 pip install ./
or
 pip install -e ./

this way, pip will inject the parts of setuptools I really need, but
hopefully not any other cruft.

We'll see.
