​Oh sweet.  This is going to make a lot of people very happy.

Just verified that this works on Linux:

    python setup.py install

"whereis leo" reports /usr/local/bin/leo

Up until a few weeks ago "python setup.py install" did _not_ work, while

​Thanks for this clarification.

Based on this, I think we are ready to move forward.  install.text will say
that both the following work on linux and Windows:

     pip install leo (anywhere)
     python setup.py install (from the top-level directory)
