Using setuptools

[David Wolever]

It turns out that making everything work with setuptools is very,  
very easy.

All it took was moving setup.py.in to setup.py, changing the import  
from 'distutils' to 'setuptools', and one or two other little things  
(which you can see if you `diff setup.py{,.in}`)

I'm having some trouble getting the patch for this to apply properly,  
so I've attached the new setup.py, and these complex instructions:
0) Save setup.py in the ditrack root
1) Remove setup.py.in and make-dist.py

I don't know how familiar you are with setuptools (please ignore this  
if you are), but basically there are three important commands:
setup.py install (install the package)
setup.py develop (install the package in develop mode, where all the  
system-wide scripts (eg, $PATH/dt-create, $PYTHON_PATH/DITrack) are  
small stubs which point to the real scripts in your development  
directory)
setup.py sdist (should do exactly the same thing as the make-dist.py)
