Comment(by leif):
I think it's not a bad idea to look at previous tickets dealing with an
spkg when updating it.
In this case #10361 (updating setuptools to 0.6c11), which got positively
reviewed and merged, but later unmerged again due to an issue with
`twisted` on MacOS X.
The changes made there, namely
* making `spkg-install` executable,
* adding a ''Special Update / Build Instructions'' section to `SPKG.txt`
(with a note on deleting the Windows binaries),
* removing mabs from the spkg maintainer list (I'm not sure if that's
still desired),
* substituting `#!/bin/sh` by `#!/usr/bin/env bash`, and, last but not
least
* adding error checks to `spkg-install` (though now in addition patches
are applied from it)
are all missing in the new spkg here.
Btw, the patch [attachment:setuptools-update.patch] (for review purposes)
doesn't really reflect the changes made to (Sage's part of) the spkg,
which is perhaps minor here, but still a bit confusing.
