Create a setup.py standard and fixed

Registered by Xavier (Open ERP)

The current server's setup.py is mostly worthless: overly complex, it doesn't use standard (de-jure or de-facto) Python mechanisms and tends to make messes of many paths and features. It also doesn't work well with installation tools (easy_install or pip) and doesn't integrate well with virtualenv (both due to the extensive customizations e.g. replacing the standard install feature).

It should be regenerated and refactored.

Whiteboard

So I think it should be better to consider using something like Distutils to setup a package for further version of OpenERP.

How to setup Distutils is explained here:
