The proposed installer changes look like a great improvement to me,
but I think Paul's questions suggest that it will be useful to capture
the many decisions involved in the redesign as a PEP.

That serves a couple of useful purposes:

1. It helps guide the design itself, and ensure that the various usage
scenarios (like build machines) are suitably covered.
2. When Python 3.5 is released, we can point readers of the What's New
document to the PEP as a reference for the detailed decision making
process that went into the changes that were made.

Regards,
Nick.
