Installation fails if prefix is set with:
setup.py setopt -c "install" -o "prefix" -s "PREFIX"
as the prefix for the bash_completion is only read from command line.

This fixes that by using distutils

This seems like a reasonable change, but I don't know know enough about Python packaging to really feel confident that I understand the implications— in any case, I'm pretty sure the old slogans about "setuptools good, distutils bad" don't apply in this scenario.

@wjwwood, do you mind weighing in here?

I'm afraid I cannot say if this makes sense or not. I don't understand the use case or the actual technical problem.

I'd say if it method that was failing now works and the related, "normal" method still works, then it's ok.

Okay, merging. If there are howls of rage, it can be reverted.
