Isn't this required to do a clean install into an alternate location? 
Breaking that installation is probably not a step forward.

This is not an issue for things like RPM installations since that file 
can be omitted from the package.

Can the makefile be smart enough to look for an existing __init__.py 
before installing its own? Or is there another python convention (and 
code support) for how to install into a shared area?
