Add formula for Distribute for Python.

"Distribute" is a "setuptools" replacement for Python, and is
a prequisite for "pip". Homebrew suggests using pip to install
Python modules required by a few brews.

This brew, by design, will only install against a Homebrew-built
version of Python, with instructions for installing
distribute against a custom Python.
