The generic 'buildPythonPackage' function used to use the build/install command
"easy_install" unconditionally. That didn't work for python-numpy, for
instance, because the package wants "setup.py" run with additional parameters
to determine the fortran compiler of choice. The newly introduced function
argument 'installCommand' allows to implement this. By passing that parameter,
the default build command can be overridden.

a worthy goal to move the Python packages that are currently in
all-packages.nix into a single attribute set, but this doesn't
require moving python-packages.nix or the other changes made to that
file. The Python packages in all-packages.nix should simply be
moved to python-packages.nix, and ideally changed to use
buildPythonPackage.

- cleanup python libraries:
* moving all python libraries into a attr set into a directory
so that expressions can be used for both: python 2.5 and 2.6 easily
* disabling packages which don't build
