Replacing distutils with setuptools

Hi Everybody:

There is a set of patches to move from distutils to setuptools.

setuptools is not part of the python core. However I claim that almost
every distribution has it packaged, so it's not a significant issue to
require setuptools.

This change allows 'pip install --editable' to work. Also roundup can
be distributed as a single file wheel or egg. These forms reducing the
time needed to install roundup.

Does anybody consider the change to setuptools to be a major
problem/blocker for using roundup?
