[Distutils] Dependency links are being followed without --process-dependency-links specified

[Piotr Dobrogost]

Running `pip install --no-deps -e .` with the following setup.py works
---- setup.py -------
from setuptools import setup, find_packages

setup(
    name="x",
    version='1.0',
    packages=find_packages(exclude=['ez_setup']),
    setup_requires=[
        "PasteScript>=1.7",
    ],
)

but after adding (dead) link in dependency_links like this

----- setup.py -----
from setuptools import setup, find_packages

setup(
    name="x",
    version='1.0',
    packages=find_packages(exclude=['ez_setup']),
    setup_requires=[
        "PasteScript>=1.7",
    ],
    dependency_links=[
        "http://www.pylonshq.com/download/"
    ],
)

it does no longer work. Please note I do not specify 
--process-dependency-links option. I get this error:
