Simple workaround for this trouble.

Should be added ASAP.

Not being able to install it using pip makes it a major annoyance when 
**everything else** can be installed via pip and a requirements.txt file...

I would also like to stress the importance of applying this patch, especially 
given how trivial it is.  Yes, it's a bug in pip, but even if that bug were 
fixed today, most users wouldn't see the fix for quite some time, so the 
workaround is still important.

I ran into this when I was using an earlier version of pip. I think it's not a 
problem in recent versions of pip, but might as well fix it for folks on old 
versions.
