Hi, thanks for your work on urlobject.

In https://github.com/zacharyvoase/urlobject/blob/master/distribute_setup.py#L49 the default version of distribute is set to 0.6.24 - the latest and greatest. At https://github.com/zacharyvoase/urlobject/blob/master/distribute_setup.py#L147 this is set to the default minimum version of distribute required to install URLObject.

A few common versions of distribute running out there in the wild:

* 0.6.19 in ubuntu 11.10 http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/all/python-virtualenv/filelist
* 0.6.8 in 11.04 http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/all/python-virtualenv/filelist

If you don't need any of the latest and greatest distribute functionality, I'd encourage you to drop the required version of distribute down a few notches... would make it easier to install.

thanks!
