Ok. I'm afraid I was relying on anecdotal evidence (the people who 
wanted setuptools specific features in my setup.py told me I *had* to 
use entry points for scripts instead of the standard distutils scripts 
machinery). I'll try out a vanilla "scripts" entry in a setuptools 
setup.py and report back.

All the best,

Michael
