you can't :-( ... not without modifying history. the pyjamas
repository really is far too large for such a small project
(something like 20-30MiB), the solution is writing a trixy git filter
to go back to the beginning and prune everything.  since this alters
history and is destructive, a future `git pull` on an existing
repository will be rejected, but not sure anyone really cares ... it's
trivial to recover from.

it's been discussed before with positive feedback IIRC, just need to
be done ... then maybe some git hooks put into place to scrub incoming
commits.

can virtualenv or similar be used to pull stuff from pypi into a local
directory?  i think we should try to avoid requiring the user to
install anything systemwide (does virtualenv work on windows, what
tools are at our disposal?).  i dont have much experience with python
deployments.
