[Distutils] [issue157] setuptools installation instructions fail on OS X: no wget

New submission from Ned Deily:

The current installation instructions for "Unix-based Systems including Mac OS X" do not work on vanilla OS X systems because OS X does not ship with "wget".  It does, however, ship with "curl".  (The Distribute web page had been updated a long time ago to use "curl" instead of "wget"; I guess that never happened for the "setuptools" page.)
