[Distutils] Two ways to download python packages - I prefer one

[Alexander Walters]

Hypothetically, the alternative is to break non-application entrypoints 
(the ones NOT used for console scripts or gui applications) into some 
other infrastructure.  The people that use entrypoints for their plugin 
systems might be given a build system agnostic option if that were the 
case.  Console scripts et. al. are still build/install system dependent.
