I'm not talking about the subdirectories under lib, just lib itself. That
is, the Python standard library. Stdlib DLLs are in a separate
subdirectory ('DLLs' on Windows, 'lib-dynload' most other places).

I don't follow you; this has nothing to do with setuptools. It's a feature
of Python since version 2.3, but as far as I know nobody's ever set up the
build machinery to create the necessary zipfile when Python is
installed. Perhaps that would be a nice place to begin your patch: a
script to create a stdlib zipfile in the platform-appropriate location,
that can run after the bytecode compilation of the stdlib modules, or that
users can run on older versions of Python to do the same thing.
