Thanks!

The previous patch also creates "$out/bin/conda". Does that executable
not work? Why do we need both packages?

There are a few phases that messes with the tests, yet they are
disabled. Why?

Often tests using /homeless-shelter just needs the HOME variable set to
some other (writable) directory (typically /tmp).

Wooow. What happens with the default 'python setup.py install'?

Unless there exists a good reason to both have a "conda" package and a
'python-conda', I think we should consolidate these two. The previous
patch (from PyPi) did not have tests either, so I suppose we should use
this release (but we should really figure out why setup.py is broken).
