[OE-core] [PATCH 47/58] setuptools: Make options for setup.py more flexible

[Koen Kooi]

As I said in my other mail, the reasoning behind this patch is wrong and will lead to broken output. The '--single-version-externally-managed' is needed to stop the python egg code from doing the wrong thing. People running into problems with this need to do 'inherit distutils' instead of 'inherit setuptools'.

Besides all that, 'DISTUTILS_INSTALL_EXTRA_ARGS' would be the correct name for such a thing.
