The express intention of breaking setuptools (and the associated
publicity ...), and especially the `test` command, is something I
don't really like *AT ALL*, especially because it has supported Python
extensions since so long ... I don't really think that phasing it out
is the right way «to save the world»

Setuptools 0.7.x is under development right now and introduces new
features ( especially for the `test` command )
