I still lean toward removing it.  What platforms are there where one would install by just unzipping a file?

Linux?  No, everyone uses RPM or DEB.  (Maybe Slackware...)

FreeBSD?  No, there's the ports system.

Windows and Mac?  No, people want installers.

Should we take this discussion to distutils-sig or python-dev, perhaps?
