[issue11254] distutils doesn't byte-compile .py files to __pycache__ during installation

[Éric Araujo]

Patch looks good.  Regarding the problem with 2to3 and -O, maybe you can run 2to3 manually, copy the setup.py and run python3.2 -0.  disutils.util.byte_compile is not tested, so this patch requires at least careful manual testing, and if possible a unit test.

In distutils2, it may be possible to replace this function with a compileall call.
