It would be great if we could come up with a

I've previously proposed to split out installation stuff (plus
pkg_resources) to such a library, leaving just the
setup.py/easy_install aspects in setuptools proper. This is
currently still a vaporware proposal, but I've at least done a bit
more specific code sketching since then. The original concept notes
can be found here:

I don't know if this is exactly what you had in mind, but I expect
it's at least somewhat similar; your previous request for
"easy_install as a set of independent functions" was not forgotten. ;-)
