Will they work for the existing setup.py? AFAIK it's not really using  
setuptools.

Need to find out where they go to add dependencies for Sphinx for the docs  
(spent much of yesterday reworking the man2html page to get it work with  
Sphinx) and Nose for testing (currently hardwired to /usr/local/share in  
the Makefile).

It's the GUI wrapper for the command-line tool.

linkchecker and linkchecker-gui are Python files blessed with executable  
bits and stripped of their extensions.

That's my virtualenv.
