Hi Maxim,

as the original author, I might be able to answer a few of these
questions.

As mentioned by the docstring of INSTALL this conforms to PEP 427.

Last time I checked installer (https://github.com/pypa/installer)
wasn’t in a good enough shape to use it here. We’d still have
to write a few lines of Python code, since it does not come with an
executable. Bootstrapping pip is pretty much impossible due to the amount
of vendored components.
