Maybe it'll be easier then to do:

import sys
if sys.version_info < (2, 3):
     from distutils.core import setup
else:
     from ez_setup import use_setuptools
     use_setuptools()
     from setuptools import setup

I'll also also have to patch distutils to accept the extra keyword 
parameters, but that's not a big deal.  That just means I can't use 
find_packages, and of course installation under Python 2.2 will be a bit 
different, but that's fine.
