[PATCH 0/8] use distutils to build Python bindings from cmake

[Sebastian Ramacher]

Hi,

the attached series of patches adds a distutils based setup.py for the Python
bindings which is then called from cmake This approach has the advantage, that
the .so and .py file are installed into the correct location which depends on
the Python version and the platform.

The same trick can be used from automake as well.

Furthermore the examples can be run via make test or ctest. The test suite
for the Python bindings is executed as well.

I don't know if the last patch is really necessary, but according to [1]
ADD_TEST and WORKING DIRECTORY seem to be buggy.

It'd be great if you could apply these patches and eventually release a new
version of kdtree++. I plan to use them in new version of Debian's kdtree++
package to ship the Python bindings for all supported versions of Python.
