This PR fixes #13 ("Don't use pip's internal API"). It does so by using pip-api, which wrap's pip's command-line interface. Avoiding importing the internal API all together will ensure that this project is easier to maintain as pip changes, and will be more likely to support future versions, as the command-line interface changes much less frequently than the internal API.
As a result, it also fixes #17. Closes #18, closes #22, closes #28. (@jayvdb and @danie1k, thanks very much for these stop-gap PRs, but ultimately I think this is a more sustainable approach).
