One thing that does slightly bother me. If distil is invoked without the -p
or -e option, it defaults to installing into the system Python. (At least
on Windows, on Unix I guess it gets the Python currently first on $PATH,
due to the use of /usr/bin/env). Pretty much all of the time, that's *not*
what I want (at least for install/uninstall type actions).

Would it be worth requiring the use of -e or -p, when running distil to
install/uninstall? (There could be a --system flag to say "yes, I really do
want the system Python" if that's worth having as well as an explicit -p).
