numpy.distutils uses setuptools if it is importable in order to make sure that
the two don't stomp on each other. It's probable that that test could probably
be done with Andrew Straw's method:
if 'setuptools' in sys.modules:
have_setuptools = True
from setuptools import setup as old_setup
else:
have_setuptools = False
from distutils.core import setup as old_setup
Tested patches welcome.
