Title: distributed src traball canot be built with easy_install, pip etc

The distributed src tarball does not include any .def files (e.g. obspy/mseed/src/libmseed/libmseed.def).

These are called in setup.py
e.g setup.py 421: lines = open(src + 'libmseed.def', 'r').readlines()[2:]

Ergo, setup.py fails.
