Changes between Initial Version and Version 1 of Ticket #1951, comment 3

Almost all of the setuptools bugs/misdesign that cause problems with a normal build, also cause problems with a bbfreeze build, except that the latter is actually worse because no developer uses it, and so it bitrots. Also, the result doesn't in practice work unless you have one per platform ABI variant.
