Can you explain the difficulty with porting setuptools in more detail?

Oh, it just exposes a bug in distutils. It probably means I'll have to make a test for python version, and if it is 3.0.1, monkey-patch distutils. I haven't really looked into if there is any other possibilities yet, I'm concentrating to make it run for 3.1 trunk first.
