This resolves a testing failure in dev-python/cryptography-1.6.1.
cryptography.hazmat.backends._available_backends() scans the available
setuptools entry_points, and so depends on having a valid
egg-info/entry_points.txt file available.
Without this PYTHONPATH update, it uses the egg-info from ${S}, which is not
valid on Linux systems as shipped from upstream.
I move egg-base to a subdirectory of ${BUILD_DIR} to avoid adding ${BUILD_DIR}
to PYTHONPATH. This seems less likely to randomly break other packages.
