Important change if you use python-setuptools

Hello, all:

The python-setuptools package was split into two: python-setuptools,
containing runtime-specific files (pkg_resources.py) and
python-setuptools-devel, containing all other stuff necessary for
building python packages. If your package uses python-setuptools in
order to build, you will need to modify BuildRequires to reflect this
change:

bad: BuildRequires: python-setuptools
good: BuildRequires: python-setuptools-devel

Applies to:
F8 (current development) and up

Reasons for change:
Avoiding unnecessary dependencies on python-devel for those packages
that use the runtime components of python-setuptools .
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=251645 for more info.
