Title: --user fixes final pull

this is the final part in the --user fixes pull series.
https://gist.github.com/2822510

contains:
- #494: can't uninstall --user/-e installs
- update the news with user scheme fixes

there was a another part in the plan at one point, but it was just a new util path function,
that didn't relate directly to the --user fixes. I'm leaving that out, so we can finalize this.

since some of the --user tests are simulations of a system python install, I took the time to run
though all the test scenarios manually using:
- a default 2.6 system install on ubuntu
- an alternative 2.7 system install on ubuntu
everything was fine.
