packagetools or pypackaging would make me happy, if we can't get PJE to 
either allow us access to setuptools or if no-one has the guts to just 
use setuptools2 (which is exactly what this project is ;-) )

I'm annoyed by the poll because it only had two crap options on it for 
the first majority of the votes. Tarek doesn't see this as a problem 
(because it sees 'distribute' stay as the project name) and is sure it's 
all fair because people can re-vote if they want to.

So, if you voted and wanted something other than "distribute" or 
"redbarrel", please re-vote. If your option isn't there, please consider 
selecting the awkwardly named third column option.

Myself, I'd prefer an option not on there, but I don't know what to do, 
if I change my vote, the only other option on the poll stands less 
chance of succeeding.

Myself, I'd prefer setuptools2, packagetools, pypackaging, disttools, 
{anything else} in that order...

Chris
