Sorry, I've been inprecise on this:

There might still be quite some packages out there importing plain, old 
distutils (and not setuptools) in their setup.py. These are what I meant 
with "other build systems not using setuptools". For these setup.py to 
understand the options we (and pip) need for installation, "import 
distutils" has to be hacked to actually become "import setuptools" - 
which is what setuptools-shim does
