I tried what you suggested and that did indeed work (with the caveat
below). I have checked in one line that allows you to easily build
cx_Oracle as an egg but I've left it commented out for now. I'm still
not convinced I want to inflict setuptools on everyone that uses
cx_Oracle. :-) Arguments welcome. One option would be to try to import
setuptools and if that fails, simply fall back to the original. That
might be a solution that would work. Perhaps others can indicate their
preference for distribution as eggs?

Thanks for pointing this out. I have checked in changes that fix this problem.

See above. :-)

Thanks for the links. They were very helpful.
