Bug Description

I was working an Question for Entertainer and I'm pretty sure that Python 2.6 is behaving differently that Python 2.5 did for the setup.py file. For some reason, users are reporting that `python setup.py install` is installing in /usr/local/share in spite of setup.py containing /usr/share paths. Since some areas require absolute paths (like config and I think translations), this change breaks stuff.

I'm pretty sure I confirmed this using the --dry-run option. I will probably investigate this during the sprint.

Since setup.py must work for our releases, this has to be figured out before 0.5 gets released.

The new resource module that I added loops through the system data directories so it should find the location of the data whether a user installed from a debian package (/usr/share/entertainer) or through just a normal setup.py (/usr/local/share/entertainer).
