Greg Ward 8d5881a2ba Bastian Kleineidam: the "build_scripts" command and changes 
necessary to support it.

Details:
  - build command additionally calls build_scripts
  - build_scripts builds your scripts in 'build/scripts' and adjusts the
    first line if it begins with "#!" and ends with "python", optionally
    ending with commandline options (like -O, -t ...).  Adjusting means we
    write the current path to the Python interpreter in the first line.
  - install_scripts copies the scripts to the install_scripts dir
  - install_data copies your data_files in install_data. You can
    supply individual directories for your data_files:

    data_files = ['doc/info.txt', # copy this file in install_scripts dir
      ('testdata', ['a.dat', 'b.dat']), # copy these files in
                                        # install_scripts/testdata
      ('/etc', ['packagerc']),    # copy this in /etc. When --root is
                                  # given, copy this in rootdir/etc
    ]

    So you can use the --root option with absolute data paths.

README 

This directory contains only a subset of the Distutils, specifically the
Python modules in the 'distutils' and 'distutils.command' packages.
Technically, this is all you need to distribute and install Python modules
using the Distutils.  Most people will want some documentation and other
help, though.  Currently, everything can be found at the Distutils web page:

    http://www.python.org/sigs/distutils-sig/

From there you can access the latest documentation, or download a standalone
Distutils release that includes all the code in this directory, plus
documentation, test scripts, examples, etc.

The Distutils documentation isn't yet part of the standard Python
documentation set, but will be soon.
