Summary: Forced download/install of ctypes with PyOpenGL-3.0.0a5

Initial Comment:
When installing PyOpenGL-3.0.0a5 from source against a Python-2.4 install,
downloading and installing ctypes seems to be forced
(although unnecessary in the case ctypes is already installed).

This is apparently coming from setup.py:
if sys.hexversion < 0x2050000:
       requirements.append( 'ctypes' )

(and could be fixed by having a try/except
around an 'import ctypes' to check for an available
ctypes for example).
