Installing faqt.py

faqt.py extends sadi.py to provide additional service metadata and provenance. You need to install it if you are developing or deploying a FAqT Service. If you need to avoid installing python libraries as root, check out this blog to see what to put into ~/.pydistutils.cfg and how to add to your PYTHONPATH shell variable.
