Maybe someone can write it in "better words" ;)

Thanks for the PR, but I don't think the wording is quite accurate. What I would say:

A bootstrap script requires a virtualenv_support directory containing pip and setuptools wheels alongside it, just like the actual virtualenv script. Running a bootstrap script without a virtualenv_support directory is unsupported (but if you use --no-setuptools and manually install pip and setuptools in your virtualenv, it will work).

Sorry, I missed your second comment when I wrote mine. I hope my wording suits you. If you don't want to update your PR, I'll do one myself (but it might take me a few days).
