Minor setup.py bug

Hi Robin,

I have noticed a minor bug with wxPython/setup.py
--help-commands

When you run it, it firstly does the wx-config / module
preparation  
stuff meaning you are forced to run it su/sudo  which is a
minor  
inconvenience. Having done that, it displays the help
information  
three times (which is a waste of bits and photons and
doubtless  
causing global warming ;-P )

Cheers,

MarkL

And shouldn't be required.  Why do you need to be root to
run wx-config?

Because it calls distutils.core.setup() three times to do
different 
aspects of the build.

Well, it's been rather chilly around here lately, so I
wouldn't mind 
having a few extra pico-degrees of warmth.
