Thanks Robert for the insight!  I updated the installation
instructions for setuptools in setup.py to point to the link you
mentioned.

Unfortunately, the official docs for setuptools
(http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/setuptools) point to
downloading ez_setup.py --- nowhere near mentioning it's deprecated.

Still, being able to point users to download one file (ez_setup.py),
and run it to install setuptools on *every* system is very tempting.
Especially, when you can point them to just run:
python ez_setup.py matplotlib
to install the latest version of matplotlib.
