Summary: Add --remove-source option to setup.py

Initial Comment:
For distributing non-opensource software, it is helpful
to just distribute the .pyc/.pyo files and not the
original .py files.
The reverse (just distributing .py files) is possible
through the --no-target-compile and
--no-target-optimize switches to the distutils bdist
command.
We have added a --remove-source option which goes
through and deletes all the source files from the build
directory. This has been tested and works smoothly with
Python 2.2.3 and seems to apply cleanly to Python 2.3
