As I've been playing around with the setup.py file, I'm starting to wonder
if the *classes/windows/language* folders needs to be moved back to their
original location.  The root of OpenShot is no longer a python program,
since the python code has been moved under the /main/openshot/ folder.  That
seems to be problematic with distutils, which wants to add just Python
modules.  I can tell distutils to add additional sub-folders (such as /glade
and /glade/icons), but I can't seem to point at parent folders, such as
/images, etc...).

Thanks,
-Jonathan
