on upgrade clobbering ports using it

Being just bitten by this again, I see it is not fixed yet.
A plain
cd /usr/local/lib/pythonX.X/
awk '\!/setuptools/ {print $0}; /setuptools/ { system("ls -ld *.egg |
awk '"'"'{ print \"./\"$9 }'"'"'") }' easy-install.pth > temp_file
mv temp_file easy-install.pth
does the job, but I think the proper solution for the port would be to
simply copy the easy-install.pth file before updating and restore it
afterwards, because if you have installed some .egg's by some other
means, you will be doubling their declarations by generating the file in
this way.
I can't expect that I will remember to copy the file next time we have
setuptools update, so I thought - prepare yourself, save the awk script
in the PR. Seems I remembered the place, not the details anyway.
