Use setuptools instead of distutils when possible

[GoogleCodeExporter]

In setup.py we use distutils to install pyftpdlib:

from distutils.core import setup

setup(...)

Users having setuptools installed might want to take advange of it.
The first example usage which comes to mind is:

$ python setup.py develop

...which lets the user edit the source checkout and do development without 
having to actually install the package:

The following change would let users take advange of setuptools remaining 
backward compatible if setuptools is not installed:

try:
    from setuptools import setup
except ImportError:
    from distutils.core import setup

setup(...)
