I honestly could argue for hours on this topic but in this case I honestly 
don't care enough. I'll remove the attributions.

We don't need to test whether setup.py is supported, it's always supported. 
What we're testing is if this test should/shouldn't be run. If we're not on 
Linux, running these tests doesn't make sense because the setup.py file won't 
do any compilation from sources but rather expect the lib to be around. The 
source compilation *in* the setup.py is enabled just on Linux.
