Hi,

Trac seems to depend on the Python setuptools, but my impression
is that only pkg_resources is really needed at runtime. The only
use of setuptools itself I can find is in trac/env.py, and only
to get the version number of the setuptools:

    self.systeminfo = [
        ('Trac', get_pkginfo(core).get('version', VERSION)),
        ('Python', sys.version),
        ('setuptools', setuptools.__version__),
        ]

It would be nice (but not crucial, of course), if Trac could
depend on pkg-resources instead of setuptools, the first being a
small subset of the latter. Is the version number of setuptools
important here or is it safe to remove the line?

TIA!
