 This has something to do with the fact that the version of
 {{{zetuptoolz}}} bundled with TahoeLAFS in [source:misc/dependencies],
 called 'setuptools-0.6c12dev' replaced pkg_resources with the new pkgutil
 module, and modulegraph apparently uses pkg_resources.  Why modulegraph's
 use thereof results in this incompatibility I haven't figured out yet.  I
 have tested a version of zetuptoolz which uses the old pkg_resources style
 instead of the new pkgutil style --
 http://allmydata.org/trac/zetuptoolz/changeset/20090703214517-92b7f-
 126e534865d9104679dc424aa681cf26a26f2921 -- and shown that this error goes
 away with that zetuptoolz (this is why this failure doesn't happen on
 ootles the way it does on the "OS X" (!VirtualZooko) builder).  So a good
 solution to this ticket would be to upgrade our bundled zetuptoolz to that
 new version of zetuptoolz.  Although it would be nice to understand more
 precisely why it doesn't work this way -- maybe we could submit a patch to
 some other project to help.
