setup.py version is based on install time, not pypi upload time (patch included)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When I "python -m pip install gprof2dot", gprof2dot's setup.py installs itself 
with a version string derived from the current date, not the version string 
uploaded to pypi:

$ python -m pip install -v -v -v gprof2dot
  Downloading from URL http://[devpi pypi mirror]/gprof2dot-2014.03.12.tar.gz#md5=4e520475d52e7b95fd0c7e9d28c5bedd (from http://[devpi pypi mirror]/+simple/gprof2dot/)
  Running setup.py (path:c:\[pip_build]\gprof2dot\setup.py) egg_info for package gprof2dot
    Running command python setup.py egg_info
    running egg_info
    creating pip-egg-info\gprof2dot.egg-info
[...]
  Requested gprof2dot==2014.03.12, but installing version 2014.09.01
Installing collected packages: gprof2dot
  Running setup.py install for gprof2dot

This is not what's intended, I think.

This patch fixes the problem:
