Global site packages still ignored in v1.1.3

[felciano]

I am following up on https://github.com/davidmarble/virtualenvwrapper-win/issues/27 and am still not able to inherit global site packages in a new virtualenv on windows. I have done a fresh install of pip (1.3.1), distribute (0.6.35), virtualenv (1.9.1), and virtualenvwrapper-win (1.1.3). I still do not see any visible difference in packages before and after toggling the global site package status:

The feature works fine. Example below. What doesn't work is listing the global site packages (when they're toggled on) with lssitepackages. I'll have to add that feature in. In the future I might support some of the virtualenv command-line switches by passing them through.

Got it -- thanks for the quick resolution David.
