I'm the one who changed the `setuptools' expression to `stdenv' a few
days ago when I updated it and fixed `easy_install'.  I made this choice
because it simply seemed more readable to me, as I don't grasp
builderDefs.

Why did you revert this change?

The reason why I'm concerned is that `setuptools' is at the core of the
`buildPythonPackage' function I just introduced and I want to make sure
(i) that I understand what goes on, and (ii) that the whole thing is
homogeneous, again to facilitate understanding.

Thanks,
Ludo'.
