[Distutils] `develop' doesn't appends my package's directory to sys.path

[Gustavo Narea]

Hello, Phillip.

I don't really understand why, but if I don't run "build" my script works.

However I need "develop" because the Ant-like tool runs my test suite on a 
different folder for every svn revision. If I remove "build", I get an import 
error because my modules are not accessible.

Thanks for your help!

Cheers.
