+* Add ``--with-wheel-pkg-dir=PATH`` option to the ``./configure`` script. If
+ specified, the :mod:`ensurepip` module looks for ``setuptools`` and ``pip``
+ wheel packages in this directory: if both are present, these wheel packages
+ are used instead of ensurepip bundled wheel packages.
+
+ Some Linux distribution packaging policies recommend against bundling
+ dependencies. For example, Fedora installs wheel packages in the
+ ``/usr/share/python-wheels/`` directory and don't install the
+ ``ensurepip._bundled`` package.
