Comment (by infinity0):

 To explain a bit more: I'd like to avoid having two `setup-*.py` scripts
 in the same dir. Theoretically, it could work, if we specify different
 build directories per script, but this is very fiddly to set up and I'd
 like to avoid this headache. Also, after doing some tests, the `install`
 target always builds in build/ and you can't override this with `--build-
 base` nor `--bdist-base` as you can for the `build` and `bdist` targets.

 Practically, we won't actually run into this situation since `setup.py`
 only runs py2exe. So if you insist we *could* go down this path, but I
 would then insist to rename `setup.py` to `setup-client-exe.py`, to
 enforce the fact that these two scripts have distinct functionalities that
 have no chance of stepping on each other's toes.

 OTOH, one of the other advantages of the common/ and `setup.py develop`
 approach is that once you run it, it also works for the facilitator
 without having to do anything extra. This is my recommended approach and I
 intend to start work on it if I don't hear back soon.
