In order to make it easier for you to bless things, I created a branch of our work, which very closely resembles the official setuptools 0.6 branch, including the correct distribution name and including all your build and release tools. It's a "hg up -C setuptools-compatible-0.6" away after cloning the repo. It does need some more tweaks to version identifiers (is it 0.6 or 0.6.0 or 0.6-final ...) and lacks the md5 checksums for release files, since these are obviously not produced yet. I'd be happy to produce the Windows binary installers for an official release. I'm sure we do have some disagreements about how to evolve setuptools after the 0.6 branch. But our ideas of what is appropriate for maintenance releases seem to match quite well.
