Description
The pkg_resources module provides some functionality which is need during the "runtime" of a package, while setuptools' functionality is only required during the build. For not having to depend on the full setuptools egg, it would be good to provide an pkg_resources egg which packages can depend on.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by examining how pkg_resources is currently provided by the setuptools egg and identify the runtime functionality that must be separated from build-time setuptools. Done means a separately distributed pkg_resources package can be depended on without requiring the full setuptools egg.
