Title: Python: Enable opencv to act as an installable module

* introduce a setup.py file to enable pip installs
* compile opencv statically into the loadable module
so that each virtualenv can have its own
opencv installation.

What works:

* pip install git+https://github.com/stylight/opencv#egg=opencv into a virtualenv
this enables other modules to specify opencv as a dependency and get it resolved
automatically (given the build dependencies are met)

Known Bugs:

* "pip uninstall opencv" fails to remove cv2.so
* uploading to pypi not tested and probably doesn't work yet.
* missing build dependencies are probably not handled gracefully.
