Try distribute/setuptools before distutils

distutils does not support ```install_requires```.  Per the advice [1] from the BFDL-Packaging and for compatibility with FPM [2] building from a git clone try distribute/setuptools before distutils.  Perhaps this is wrong; I wouldn't be the first person driven to despair by Python packaging.
