1) Probably the sane thing to do would be to call it easy_install-3, right? 
That's what has been done with most of the other tools for Python 3, and it
looks like python-setuptools-devel installs easy_install-2.6.  It seems to me
that it would be fine for the Python 3 version to only install under the
versioned name.

2) I assume that when the brp-python-bytecompile patch is in, the __python def
will go away, right?

3) The python_sitelib stuff looks a bit hackish, but there might not be any
better way to do it.

4) I still think it's insane that easy_install is in the -devel subpackage.  I
know that this is a carryover from the python2 packaging, but I think it's
worth reconsidering.  If I recall correctly, the rationale was that
easy_install depended on some files from python-devel, or something like that. 
Anyway, I think it's a disservice to users that the setuptools package doesn't
include easy_install.
