[Distutils] virtualenv 1.5 error on windows

[Sridhar Ratnakumar]

  See 
http://bitbucket.org/ianb/virtualenv/issue/60/win-assertionerror-in-change_prefix

1.5 is basically broken on Windows, and it breaks all packages that rely 
on virtualenv ... such as tox. We need a new release.

As for the error you see with 1.4.9, see 
http://bitbucket.org/ianb/virtualenv/issue/11/windows-issue
