I'd rather avoid the runtime dependency just because of the need to have 
it on the live cd then.  However, I could set it up to attempt to import 
setuptools, and then skip the version check if I can't import it.

I should note that I don't deliver the egg files for Mako right now in 
the package.  However, I have been following the conversation about 
simplejson on ARC, so it looks like I'll need to change that soon.

I agree with you that they (the setuptools folks) were rather forceful 
about this.
