OK, so for somebody creating an activity from scratch, right now, today... 
should they even be creating setup.py in their activity bundle?  Is there 
one stock setup.py that always works?  Are there differences between one 
setup.py and another?  My diffs say no -- and if that's the case, why have 
a different setup.py for every activity?

And also -- are we assuming that all activities in the future will be 
written using Develop?
