Hi.

I'm wondering about how a user could add package's .pth file into system
`site-packages` directory without having write access to it.

Setuptools documentation<http://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/formats.html#installation-and-path-management-issues>
says
there is a workaroung for this problem, but I don't really get it.

Is it possible to have the foobar.pth file copied to site-packages dir
automatically with python setup.py install command?

src/
  foobar/...
  foobar.pth
  setup.py
