The following line installs pyx in the current directory

  ./setup.py install --root=`pwd` --install-data=/ --install-lib=/

I have written this line into my setup.cfg long times ago and always
use it when installing pyx anew.
André, Jörg, maybe we should add this line into INSTALL to make life
easier for users? The same has been asked a week ago by Michael
Strass.
