You could add a selective work-around that just triggers if setuptools
has been loaded on the 2.6 branch.
if sys.modules.has_key('setuptools'):
# monkey-patch fix-up setuptools to work with the new code
...
or the other way around:
if sys.modules.has_key('setuptools'):
# undo r1234 to make setuptools 0.6c9 happy again
...
