New submission from Jason R. Coombs:

The setuptools source references a "distutils bug" here: 
https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/src/85760c42740829000a19ebf708d0a9cd565bb0eb/setuptools/command/bdist_wininst.py?at=default#cl-7

>From what I infer from that message, the bug is that 'reinitialize_command'

>commands.

I'm actually skeptical that setuptools even needs to clear the 'install_lib' 
property on the 'install_lib' command, for as best as I can tell, the 
install_lib command only ever sets install_dir.

Nevertheless, I wanted to log a ticket to reference in the code to ultimately 
find a solution rather than a workaround.
