This flag should be set for packages that import pkg_resources
and thus need setuptools after the build step.
Set this flag for packages that need it and bump PKGREVISION.

unidecode 1.2.0
* Add 'errors' argument that specifies how characters with unknown
replacements are handled. Default is 'ignore' to replicate the
behavior of older versions.
* Many characters that were previously replaced with '[?]' are now
correctly marked as unknown and will behave as specified in the
new errors='...' argument.
* Added some missing ligatures and quotation marks in U+1F6xx and
U+27xx ranges.
* Add PEP 561-style type information (thanks to Pascal Corpet)
* Support for Python 2 and 3.5 to be removed in next release.
unidecode 1.1.0
* Add more Latin letter variants in U+1F1xx page.
* Make it possible to use the Unidecode command-line utility via
"python -m unidecode"
* General clean up of code and documentation
unidecode 1.0.23
* Improve transliteration of Hebrew letters
* Add transliterations for the phonetic block U+1D00 - U+1D7F
* Transliterate SI "micro" prefix as "u" instead of "micro" in the
U+33xx block.
* Add U+33DE SQUARE V OVER M and U+33DF SQUARE A OVER M.
* Drop support for Python 2.6 and 3.3
2018-01-05 unidecode 1.0.22
* Move to semantic version numbering, no longer following version
numbers from the original Perl module. This fixes an issue with
setuptools (>= 8) and others expecting major.minor.patch format.
(https://github.com/avian2/unidecode/issues/13)
* Add transliterations for currency signs U+20B0 through U+20BF
(thanks to Mike Swanson)
* Surround transliterations of vulgar fractions with spaces to avoid
incorrect combinations with adjacent numerals
(thanks to Jeffrey Gerard)
* Add U+2116 NUMERO SIGN
* Add U+05BE HEBREW PUNCTUATION MAQAF
unidecode 0.04.20:
* Fixed transliteration of circled Latin letters and numbers
* Add square unit symbols.
* Add Latin variants in U+20xx and U+21xx pages.
* Fix U+02B1 MODIFIER LETTER SMALL H WITH HOOK.
* Fix U+205F MEDIUM MATHEMATICAL SPACE.
* Add "DIGIT ... COMMA" and "PARANTHESIZED LATIN CAPITAL LETTER"
in U+1F1xx page.
* Add missing vulgar fractions and a/c, a/s, c/o, c/u symbols.

It often happens that you have text data in Unicode, but you need
to represent it in ASCII. For example when integrating with legacy
code that doesn't support Unicode, or for ease of entry of non-Roman
names on a US keyboard, or when constructing ASCII machine identifiers
from human-readable Unicode strings that should still be somewhat
intelligeble (a popular example of this is when making an URL slug
from an article title).
Note that this module generally produces better results than simply
stripping accents from characters (which can be done in Python with
built-in functions). It is based on hand-tuned character mappings
that for example also contain ASCII approximations for symbols and
non-Latin alphabets.
This is a Python port of Text::Unidecode Perl module by Sean M.
Burke.
