I think the current scheme may have been useful at a time where DVCS didn't 
exist.  You would maintain an unversioned copy of Modules/Setup.dist in your 
work-tree.  Nowadays you can fork a github repo and maintain your own branch 
with changes to a tracked file.  I don't think Modules/Setup deserves special 
treatment compared to, say, setup.py or Makefile.pre.in.
