I'm not wedded to anyplace in particular.  Having the bootstrap needed to
make effective use of PyPI hosted on PyPI itself makes a lot of sense to
me.  Maybe under a URL like this one?

  https://pypi.python.org/bootstraps/ez_setup.py

The main key is that the URL should be immutable (so we can doucment it
widely, and use it in scripts) and have availability as good as the
cheeseshop (I'm not knocking Bitbucket in particular).

If the file were copied into the Sphinx docs uploaded to
pythonhosted.org, that would probably work just as well.
