write a script that converts a distutils or setuptools based setup.py script into a distutils2 one.

This script will need to parse the AST and generate a new setup.py, using a few transformation rules.

lib2to3 can be used as a framework for this feature

Now that we want d2 to use only a static configuration file, I think lib2to3 is not the right tool.  mkpkg (to be given a better name) should be able to convert an existing setup.py to a setup.cfg, and also create a setup.py from a setup.cfg.

Rejected in http://hg.python.org/distutils2/rev/05f890cbd877: “Removing the converter. This is not going to work out. We have better ideas about d1 -> d2 migration paths” (like mkpkg, now mkcfg, still to be given a better name :).
