bdist_wheel is implemented as a distutils.core.Command, see 
https://github.com/pypa/wheel/blob/3a87ecebaba765475392ae2cdfa2a51cb78360e0/wheel/bdist_wheel.py

I was unable to find a good place to transparently hook in and catch the 
missing command class, but I agree that setuptools would be a far faster avenue 
to get this out to users.

Alternatives include:
  1) implementing bdist_wheel as a command in setuptools... which would have to 
get out of the way or call the real command when the wheel package is installed.
  2) trying to get wheel merged into setuptools, which would be a much larger 
project.

I'll see what option 1 looks like!
