Before we used `easy_install` command to handle installation
in one shot, now this is split into two phases:
- buildPhase: python setup.py build
- installPhase: python setup.py install
Each of those commands have the ability to pass extra
parameters through buildPythonPackage parameters as
`setupPyInstallFlags` and `setupPyBuildFlags`.
Phases now correctly execute post/pre hooks.
In configurePhase we inject setuptools dependency before distutils
is imported to apply monkeypatching by setuptools that is needed
for special features to apply.
We don't have to reorder default phases anymore, as test
phase comes after build and that works.
I rewrote offineDistutils into distutils-cfg with a bit cleaner
syntax and ability to specify extraCfg to the config file.
Plone packages are failing and garbas said he will adopt them to
the new functions. The rest of the packages I fixed and these commits
shouldn't break any package (according to my testings) and they introduce
16 new jobs and fix 38 that were broken before.
This is needed to compile the Virtual Box guest additions with the 3.13
kernel (and thus the grsecurity testing kernel).

This is primarily useful in Nix expressions that are also intended to
be used by nix-shell. It allows saying things like:
buildInputs = [ ... ] ++ (if inNixShell then [ emacs ] else [ ]);
This should not be used in Nixpkgs (since the question of what
constitutes a useful nix-shell environment is very subjective).
This makes it a bit easier to find out the current Nixpkgs version,
e.g.
$ nix-instantiate --eval '<nixpkgs>' -A lib.nixpkgsVersion
"14.02.35657.66f51a9"
