hum, it's a feature that has been of use to some people.

sure, but this is what setuptools creates, it's not what
py/bin/py.test specifies and what gets installed with a
distutils install.

i guess i could and probably also the others. I'll think about it.
If others like to chime in here, please do so.
I can also imagine to just use a normal distutils setup.py
for 0.9.2 based on what you did. I recently i even had someone
not wanting to use setuptools based installs (for a different
project). Btw, I actually assumed that python 2.5 came with setuptools
but that is not the case, has just been discussed at some point, right?
