Remove 'distribute' dependency

Patrick Lucas · Patrick Lucas · commit a729e8cbc8ca · 2014-05-02T19:19:41.000-07:00
This dependency is unnecessary since this project now uses setuptools and
it prevents installing this package with --use-wheel, failing with this
traceback:

$ pip install --use-wheel distribute
