Vendored Dependencies
---------------------
Setuptools has some dependencies, but due to `bootstrapping issues
<https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/980>`, those dependencies
cannot be declared as they won't be resolved soon enough to build
setuptools from source. Eventually, this limitation may be lifted as
PEP 517/518 reach ubiquitous adoption, but for now, Setuptools
cannot declare dependencies other than through
``setuptools/_vendor/vendored.txt`` and
``pkg_reosurces/_vendor/vendored.txt`` and refreshed by way of
``paver update_vendored`` (pavement.py).
