That comes with virtualenv not being required by tox anymore and breaks
tox offline usage.

I tried to fix that (and provide a patch for tox) by placing a
virtualenv_support directory (containing {distribute,pip}*.tar.gz) next
to tox/virtualenv.py as done in a vanilla virtualenv installation. It
works (for me) if done directly in an installed tox package. However, I
have trouble creating a tox sdist with package_data: It is packaged into
the sdist but won't be installed from it. In addition, I have no
capacity for testing with the many many Pythons and platforms which tox
supports. Would you even consider putting virtualenv_support into tox?
