Title: Windoze updates enabling the install space

Sets up the environment env/setup files for the install space. Also gets python doing its thing right on windows.

* python distutils script added
* windows peculiarities for python handled in the cmake
* install locations pointing to the right places

The last one is a bit odd - windows python setuptools installs to lib/site-packages and not lib/python2.7/site-packages or lib/python2.7/dist-packages.

Are the latter two options strictly because of the install-layout=deb option to python setuptools? The dist-packages is not so important, but am curious why it doesn't do the python2.7.

There is also a patch coming to genpy to help this.
