bootstrap_eb

Bootstrap script for EasyBuild

Installs distribute with included (patched) distribute_setup.py script to obtain easy_install, and then performs a staged install of EasyBuild: * stage 0: install setuptools (which provides easy_install), unless already available * stage 1: install EasyBuild with easy_install to a temporary directory * stage 2: install EasyBuild with EasyBuild from stage 1 to specified install directory
