source tarball has python library paths in it

What steps will reproduce the problem?  
1. download the tarball
2. tar zxvf psutil-0.1.0.tar.gz
3. resulting directory is rooted at 'usr'.

A "normal" python tarball would untar into a directory named
'psutil-0.1.0', and contain a 'setup.py' that would build and install
the package.

I would suggest investigating distutils, creating a setup.py, and using
it to build the source distribution.  I just learned how myself a couple
days ago, and it's really pretty easy.

We're using distutils and setup.py already, not sure what happened with the 
distribution but we'll get it fixed/reposted shortly.

Now that Google finally permits it I completely removed the old broken tarball:
