Oh, it just exposes a bug in distutils. It probably means I'll have to
make a test for python version, and if it is 3.0.1, monkey-patch
distutils. I haven't really looke
FWIW; I think a 3.0.2 would be useful socially (even volunteer projects have
marketting issues to consider). It says "we are committed to making 3.x
work", while the quick jump to 3.1 with only a limited minor fix release to
3.0 says "we stumbled into this and have to just brush this under the rug.

Basically setuptools invokes a functions in distutils that was still
using cmp(). (See the latest messages in issue #1717 for all the
details.)
