I'm not talking about the subdirectories under lib, just lib itself.  That 
is, the Python standard library.  Stdlib DLLs are in a separate 
subdirectory ('DLLs' on Windows, 'lib-dynload' most other places).

I don't follow you; this has nothing to do with setuptools.  It's a feature 
of Python since version 2.3, but as far as I know nobody's ever set up the 
build machinery to create the necessary zipfile when Python is 
installed.  Perhaps that would be a nice place to begin your patch: a 
script to create a stdlib zipfile in the platform-appropriate location, 
that can run after the bytecode compilation of the stdlib modules, or that 
users can run on older versions of Python to do the same thing.
