The develop command uses the egg_info command.  egg_info uses the 
setuptools enhanced MANIFEST scheme.  Both make use of extended setup() 
arguments, and the entry points feature that allows distutils plugins to 
co-operate.  Develop also uses easy_install...  and so on.

I'm not saying it would be impossible to merge this stuff into the 
distutils, just that it's not a trivial undertaking.
