OpenOpt install

[dmitrey]

When earlier OpenOpt versions had been installed there were no
compiled pyc-files (in destination directory). I called to mailing
list but no obvious receipt had been achieved. Matthieu had done some
changes but it yielded other mistakes (no some py-files detected or
kind of), so I had removed those changes and write my own, for to have
OO py-files being compiled when installed, because next time when they
will be run user may not have root permissions, so he will recompile
source files each time OO starts.
