Summary:                    Missing dependency on "python_devel"
Description: 
When importing my public key I got a python exception about a missing
distutils module. 

$ gitosis-init < /tmp/id_dsa.pub
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/csw/bin/gitosis-init", line 5, in <module>
    from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
  File "/opt/csw/lib/python/site-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 657, in
<module>
    class Environment(object):
  File "/opt/csw/lib/python/site-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 660, in
Environment
    def __init__(self, search_path=None,
platform=get_supported_platform(), python=PY_MAJOR):
  File "/opt/csw/lib/python/site-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 55, in
get_supported_platform
    plat = get_build_platform(); m = macosVersionString.match(plat)
  File "/opt/csw/lib/python/site-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 186, in
get_build_platform
    from distutils.util import get_platform
ImportError: No module named distutils.util

Installing python_devel fixed it.

Not sure if gitosis is missing the dependency, it seems to be used by
setuptools.

distutils have been moved to CSWpython, this issue is now fixed.
