[issue1887] Document that distutils doesn't support out-of-source builds

[Éric Araujo]

Éric Araujo added the comment:

distutils2 is no more.

Paths handling in distutils is fragile, so I’m changing this to a doc issue: we should make it clear that only “cd path/to/project; python setup.py command” is expected to work.
