New submission from Tarek Ziadé <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

When calling run_setup, the execfile does not set the __file__ global
variable, that is often used in setup.py modules (for instance to load a
text file from the package to be used in the long_description)

This patch adds this global variable so it does not fail. 

No test provided (distutils would need a test_core.py). 

I could work on some tests, but the previous test_* files I have added
are not in yet, so i'd rather wait for that before proposing new tests
modules.
