+Subject: [PATCH] setup.py: port to setuptools
+
+Python 3.10 has deprecated distutils[1], and it will be removed entirely
+in Python 3.12.
+
+As the setuptools API is identical, moving to setuptools is trivial by
+changing the import.
+
+Remove check_mod_version, a version specifier can be passed directly
+to pkg-config.
+
+Remove unused imports.
+
