Yep, this is the kind of thing I'm looking for.
Except if we're talking about the core, it would be:

from distutils.core import setup,parse_static
setup(**parse_static('setup.cfg').to_dict())

...and of course, because setup.cfg is the default name, we just end up 
with:

from distutils.core import setup
setup()

...unless you want to name setup.cfg something else, right?
