Title: ENH: make setuptools dependency optional

This patch makes the setuptools dependency of Theano an optional one. This is done by having an own implementation of the find_packages function. The setup function itself falls back to distutils.core, such that it is still possible to take use the additional setuptools commands (e.g. develop), when setuptools (or distribute) is installed.
