Comment (by Michał Górny):
I've tested a bunch of old pip version with these changes (and the hack
from `setup.py` removed) and FWICS:
- pip 10.0.1 (Apr 2018) complains about the missing `wheel` dependency
because it "does not implement PEP 517 so it cannot build a wheel without
'setuptools' and 'wheel'" but I don't think that's very relevant
- I was able to `pip install -e .` correctly with all versions down to 9.0
(Nov 2016); older versions seem to be broken with Python 3.9
Just in case, I've also tried downgrading setuptools and managed to get
`pip install -e .` working down to setuptools 41.1.0 (Aug 2019); older
versions seem to be broken with Python 3.9.
