So yes, setup.cfg would work here.

Yes, that's how Jinja does already for example, using Setuptools's
pkg_resources :
__version__ = __import__('pkg_resources').get_distribution('Jinja2').version
see http://dev.pocoo.org/projects/jinja/browser/jinja2/__init__.py
Notice that this pkg_resources browsing feature would be in Distutils
once PEP 376 is accepted, so until then, I could probably backport in
Distribute the setup.cfg feature.
