Should we really call this "python-build-system" ? I think there are a 
few different build systems for Python, even though they are all forks 
of one another (distutils, setuptools, distutils2, distribute, and maybe 
others).

I'm not sure that Python chose one of these as the "official" build 
system. Maybe we should use names such as 
"python-setuptools-build-system". WDYT ?
