I dont *want* to. I'd just patch upstream if it's completely hosed.

I don't quite understand. Are you proposing to patch the upstream package?
(this would be worse, as it involves more than just distutils patching).
I need something of the kind
{{{
setup.py install USEMYOWNFILEUTIL
}}}
or
{{{
IMPORTPATH=myhackedfileutil_path setup.py install
}}}
within spkg-install. is this even possible?
