I thought about that but it would probably look like

PYTHON_BUILD_FRAMEWORK=	 setuptools

instead of

TOOL_DEPENDS+=	${PYPKGPREFIX}-setuptools-[0-9]*:../../devel/py-setuptools

and I'm not sure it's much easier (yes, we could ?= default it to
setuptools).

Another idea would be to put the "${MV} foo foo-${PYVERSSUFFIX}" into
variables instead, something like

PYTHON_VERSIONED_BINARIES=   bin/foo
