 Trying to install Tahoe 1.3.0 with easy_install fails with this message.

 {{{
 $ easy_install-2.5 --quiet --prefix $DIR allmydata-tahoe==1.3.0

 The required version of setuptools (>=0.6c12dev) is not available, and
 can't be installed while this script is running. Please install
  a more recent version first, using 'easy_install -U setuptools'.

 (Currently using setuptools 0.6c8 (/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages))
 error: Setup script exited with 2
 }}}

 This was tested on Ubuntu intrepid and Debian lenny machines using Python
 2.5.

 However, installation from the tarball (python setup.py install) works
 fine.
