running::

  $ pysetup remove shyaml
  'shyaml' cannot be removed.
  Error: [Errno 18] Invalid cross-device link

Same happens when using::

  $ pysetup install shyaml==0.1.3

Besides, I've no idea of the state of distutils2 which was promising and is working as far as I'm concerned (except for trivial bugs as this one).

I'm using it for several small project, and I would be glad to know that it is still maintained regarding such easily-corrected bugs.

Correction of this bug is trivial here because ``distutils2/install.py`` line 57 should use ``shutil.move()`` instead of ``os.rename()``. I've tested it, and this does the job.

Thank you for your attention.
