paver ignores install_requires in setup.py

[yedpodtrzitko]

Issue is already described over here:
https://code.google.com/p/paver/issues/detail?id=42

it's caused by this conditional in setuptools.command.install: ~70

if caller_module != 'distutils.dist' or caller_name!='run_commands':
    # We weren't called from the command line or setup(), so we
    # should run in backward-compatibility mode to support bdist_*
    # commands.
    _install.run(self)
else:
    self.do_egg_install()

...so when setup.py is dispatched by paver, it uses install() from distribute (if branch), which doesn't process requirements

"solved" by this hack:

Urgh, let's stack hacks!

Please just add note about this in-setuptools-hack above the code in patch and send pull request, thanks.

(when you are at it, note to changelog would be also nice :)
