Bug Description
Back in the day, we thought we needed to exec pip in LocalInstall to prevent easy_install from firing. This is not actually necessary.
what's worse is that it causes pip to do the wrong thing WRT dependencies in requirements.txt (if there is a depend in requirements.txt that is greater than the one on the system, it will not upgrade it, whereas in the simple case if it's in install_requires it will)
We ALSO inject into install_requires, so the LocalInstall is basically just bunk.

Fix this after we release 0.10.
