Good job digging that up.

This fixes part of the problem when installing calibre and the waffling that 
went on with missing lxml, then cssutils, etc. I tried this and then lin 
calibre, it barked about missing lxml, so lin lxml, calibre then barked about 
missing cssutils; rinse and repeat.

I so ended up setting the install to root for; lxml, cssutils, ClientForm, 
mechanize, and python-dateutil. So now when any of these are recompiled, 
including setuptools calibre installs without issues. I will commit those 
changes shortly.

There may be other python modules that use setuptools and we might want to add 
that root path.
