Title: fallback on zmq=/usr/local if default build fails

This tweaks setup.py to fallback on `--zmq=/usr/local` if the initial zmq test fails. I have confirmed that this fixes unconfigured build on CentOS with current distribute/pip/cython. The following command successfully installs pyzmq on this system:

easy_install https://www.github.com/minrk/pyzmq/zipball/fallback
# same goes for pip install

despite the fact the CentOS makes the terrible choice to exclude /usr/local/lib from LD_LIBRARY_PATH by default.

See discussion in #128 for details.
