[Distutils] Making install a no-op

[Randy Syring]

Seems to me this would be handled in the upstream packages that are 
depending on enum34.  IMO, it would be their responsibility to only 
include enum34 if their package is being installed on a python that 
needs it.

To ask enum34 to be installed and then expect enum34 to not install 
itself seems backwards.  But that's just my $0.02.
