* Significantly enhanced support and docs for "non-root" installation,pje2005-10-171-0/+123
including both "virtual" and PYTHONPATH-based installs. The activation precedence of distributions has also changed so that PYTHONPATH-based non-root installs can include eggs that override system-defined packages (whether managed or unmanaged). This version should eliminate most common installation complaints from non-root Python users. Note: this version includes a hacked 'site.py' to support processing .pth files in directories that come *before* site-packages on sys.path. However, because of its placement, it should only come into play when a user puts the setuptools .egg file *directly* on PYTHONPATH, so it doesn't affect "virtual" or "root" installations. It's strictly to provide support for luddites who refuse to give up their existing non-root PYTHONPATH setup unless you pry it from their cold, dead hands. :) git-svn-id: http://svn.python.org/projects/sandbox/trunk/setuptools@41262 6015fed2-1504-0410-9fe1-9d1591cc4771
