I've put a zip of the source for setuptools-0.6c9 with two patches, one for
issue2 (this issue) and another for issue64. You can grab it at
http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/54081/setuptools-0.6c9_issue2_issue64.zip . In
addition to the patches, I've renamed the version to
"setuptools-0.6c9_issue2_issue64", so it will install as separate from other
builds. Let me know if this doesn't work for you.
