Summary: setup.py should mangle #! lines

Initial Comment:
When setup.py installs scripts (like runzeo.py) it
leaves the original "#! /usr/bin/env python" line in.
It should replace those with a #! line that references
sys.executable (which may not be the default python).

The distutils 'build_scripts' command is supposed to take care of mangling #! lines.  It's a bit sensitive to the exact format of the #! line, though, and exactly how it works seems to change with every Python version.

I *think* the right thing to do is distribute scripts with the first line "#!/usr/bin/python" (or just "#!python"), and let 'build_scripts' do the munging.
