Oh, I need Dulwich to satisfy dependency for Hg-Git extension and
completely ignored the fact that the library can be used for anything
else. =)

In any case I made a patch that adds --pure option to setup.py to
allow installing Dulwich from source without C boosters. I do not
remember sending it to anyone, so here is it.

P.S. It would be nice too see bitbucket mirror updated more frequently.
