Using 'pip' and several setup.py sub-commands currently don't work with
pylibfdt. The primary reason is Python packaging has opinions on the
directory structure of repositories and one of those appears to be the
inability to reference source files outside of setup.py's subtree. This
means a sdist cannot be created with all necessary source components
(i.e. libfdt headers). Moving setup.py to the top-level solves these
problems.
With this change. the following commands now work:
Creating packages for pypi.org:
./setup.py sdist bdist_wheel
Using pip for installs:
pip install .
pip install git+http://github.com/robherring/dtc.git@pypi-v2
