I'd like to give the user control over where the files get installed.
It looks like distutils installs into site-packages by default, and
there's no way to override it. The UI shows the destination directory
in a box that looks like it should be editable, but it isn't.
If you run setup.py install, you can pass a --home that affects where
files are installed. I'm looking for something similar on Windows.
