Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Remove package import for version to fix install.

A common way to break project installation is to import the package in
setup.py in order to get access to mypackage.__version__.  However if
mypackage depends on a different uninstalled package, the import will
fail, causing setup.py to fail before it has a chance to install the
dependency.

The fix is to find some other DRY way to get at __version__.
