option to force build from source

I just did
easy_install blist
on fedora F11 x86_64. I was surprised that it did not build from source,
instead d/l somebody's blist.so.

No surprise, testing 'import blist' fails with an undefined symbol.

This is distribute 0.6.7. Please add option to force build from source.
