openphoto/openphoto-python — Issue #4: use setuptools/distribute for setup.py (optionally?) vs distutils

setuptools and distribute allow you to `python setup.py develop` as well as to install dependencies; i.e. we require oauth2 (https://github.com/openphoto/openphoto-python/blob/master/setup.py#L9) but it is not actually installed with python setup.py install. I would recommend just requiring setuptools or distribute, but you can also optionally support them in the same setup.py; see https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/blob/develop/setup.py for example.

I'm happy to do this if there is interest (or at least no dissent)
