Re: Is virtualenv --setuptools still useful?

As usual, I'd say: You're a member of DPMT, which is the primary
maintainer of this package, so please feel free to commit everything you
do to the package's repository. I'll happily upload it to experimental.

I've found it useful when debugging errors that OSX users in my company
report to me. That said, I have an upstream git checkout on my machine,
so it's not *that* much more effort to just use that instead.
It'd be nice if we can get the upstream to make distribute the default.
I see https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/issues/217 but it's fairly
dead...
So, I am affected by this, but don't mind too much if you do it.
