Your mention of --user had me thinking of something that will do
standard installation if it has the necessary privileges (e.g. in a
virtualenv) and the equivalent of --user otherwise.
Also, for novice users, something tab-completable with an obvious name
(%installpkg?) would be handy.
Ideally I'd like it not to depend on anything beyond the standard
library, but I have a feeling it might require distribute. Although
'packaging' in Python 3.3 should resolve that.
