- setup.py is based on disttools, which predates eggs
- simple fix would be to change setup.py to use setuptools instead.
- recommended fix is to change setup.py to use 'distribute'

Another Python developer here just told me he's made the setuptools
change to setup.py in our local fork, I'll generate a patch and attach
to a JIRA as soon as he checks his changes in.
I'm happy to add optional support for setuptools if there is a clean way
to do that. I would like to keep the scripts working with distutils as
well though since that is available by default on any python install
without having to get additional packages. Give me a ping when you post
your JIRA and I'll have a look.
