[Distutils] Getting more momentum for pip

Yeah my changes are quite trivial. And there is much more complex stuff
that could be improved. IIRC, `pip/req/req_install.py` is the real
behemoth. I remember feeling afraid to touch that thing. :)

I do think this illustrates some of the problem though in that if those 3
very simple PRs are not merged or closed, then I don't have a lot of faith
that any more complex PR that I might submit would be worth the time
investment.

I feel like I'm somewhat conditioned to only submit small PRs to pip
because they have the lowest risk (although also the lowest reward of
course).

But I don't want to get too bogged down with focusing on me and my PRs. I
think this involves everybody.
