Instead of symlinks and build-time configuration the ipaplatform module
is now able to auto-detect platforms on import time. The meta importer
uses the platform 'ID' from /etc/os-releases. It falls back to 'ID_LIKE'
on platforms like CentOS, which has ID=centos and ID_LIKE="rhel fedora".
The meta importer is able to handle namespace packages and the
ipaplatform package has been turned into a namespace package in order to
support external platform specifications.

This version builds only one version of Python packages. If you want to
build for Python 2 & 3 call configure twice using different --with-python
or specify PYTHON variable when calling make.
dist-hook is using SOURCES.txt file from egg-info.
According to Petr Viktorin this should be enough for our purposes
and avoids need to create plugins for setuptools.
Currently VPATH builds do not work for various reasons.
This should be fixed later on.
