Yes, it appears it was checked by setup.py. In my experience the
diversity of special setup.py's out there is a good example of why it's
bad to do too much configuration in Python code. This is ironic given
that I'm advocating Grok, but I guess there are good and bad ways to do
this kind of configuration. :)

I agree, and I didn't mean tot say that it was. I'm just saying it's
another strike against. I was really disappointed in the hostility they
seemed to display against eggs. It starts to add up after a while.
That said, I've just dropped a note to the author of the FAPWS WSGI (who
also appears to be involved with Twisted) with an introduction and
asking him what's up. :)
