Require distribution-packaged virtualenv rather than running `sudo pip install virtualenv` #171

The util/venv-dependencies.sh script requires virtualenv to be available on the PATH, and "solves" that by running sudo pip install virtualenv. I don't want my system cluttered up like that.

Instead, I'd suggest removing that, and adding it as a distro-specific package dependency. For instance, Debian/Ubuntu already provide a virtualenv package. Streisand already requires certain distro packages to be installed, why not also virtualenv?
