[issue7071] distutils and IronPython compatibility

[Éric Araujo]

I think this change was wrong.  Please see my rationale in http://bugs.python.org/issue12119.

(BTW, I’d be surprised if byte compilation was the only compat issue with distutils and IronPython.  For a start, sys.version[:3] is used to get the version number.  I should be able to get Mono and IronPython in a few weeks or months and see how much issues there are in distutils and distutils2.)
