That's OK, the package managers get bypassed by pysetup on POSIX systems as well - that's kind of the point of language level virtual environments (they're an intermediate step between system installs and chroot installs, which in turn are an interim step on the road to full virtualised machines). There are hard to build packages on POSIX (e.g. PIL) that would also benefit from a good, cross-platform approach to binary installation.
