I'm keen to support setuptools, however it sounds like there is a bit of
refactoring needed to make that possible.

First of all, we shouldn't move pythonutils into a sub-folder of rest2web.
Instead I should release a more up to date version and provide eggs. We can
then make rest2web depend on pythonutils.

I'm glad you  are working from SVN. Presumably you have dealt with the fact
that it has a 'plugins' subdirectory and a 'defaults' subdirectory, both of
which need to be preserved ?

'r2w.py' is the rest2web script, so it shouldn't be moved into the rest2web
directory (or egg) but put in a sensible location. r2w.py should work
normally then (since it imports rest2web which should then be on sys.path).

If we can resolve these issues then we should be able to eggify rest2web.
