This application doesn't use setuptools. The sphinx requirement for installing 
CrunchyFrog was added to the Wiki: 
http://code.google.com/p/crunchyfrog/wiki/Requirements
I'm closing this issue as a WontFix as no code change was actually made.
Thanks for reporting!

Too bad. It could be nice to have all dependencies installed automatically.

I don't think that's possible. PyGTK for example should be already installed on 
most 
Linux systems and compiling and installing a newer version side by side to the 
systems version isn't the desired result.
Another problem are the database modules. It depends on your needs which 
database 
modules need to be installed. And then again, each module needs to be compiled 
at 
least on Linux systems, which means that all libraries needed for compilation 
need to 
be installed too.

I've noticed that you are working on Windows. It would be great to have some 
feedback 
(or even better some patches :) in case you've get it running :) There are some 
preliminary instructions on the wiki:
