Ok, I'll drop that dependency, as this stuff doesn't actually need 
the absolute latest setuptools.

Ugh.  Apparently Plugins depends on DecoratorTools 1.5, and that's 
getting installed first.  For now, "easy_install DecoratorTools==1.6" 
should get you working; I'll change Chandler-Platform to require 1.6 
before it looks for Plugins.
