This is -- a caller that pip uses to run setup.py

- It imports setuptools before invoking setup.py, to enable projects that directly

import from distutils.core to work with newer packaging standards.

- It provides a clear error message when setuptools is not installed.

- It sets sys.argv[0] to the underlying setup.py, when invoking setup.py so

setuptools doesn'"'"'t think the script is -c. This avoids the following warning:

manifest_maker: standard file '"'"'-c'"'"' not found".

- It generates a shim setup.py, for handling setup.cfg-only projects.
