Hi Ross,

the setuptools class does great work. Writing recipes and installing 
python packages now works like a charm.
As you probably noticed as well, to add a package, one must add recipes 
for the transitive closure of all required packages defined in the 
setup.py file with the lines install_requires=[.*] and setup_requires=[.*].

The previous patches are now completely obsolete.
