Split from #1258.

At source:src/allmydata/init.py@4796#L227, the versions and paths obtained from pkg_resources.require take precedence over those obtained by importing modules. But in a case such as #1258 where the imported code is different from what pkg_resources attempted to put on the sys.path, the result of pkg_resources.require is the wrong thing to use.

This can cause the output of tahoe --version or tahoe --version-and-path to be incorrect, and it can also cause tests based on that output (such as test_path in source:src/allmydata/test/test_runner.py) to pass when they should fail.

Although this change doesn't have its own test, it does cause test_path to start failing in the situation of #1258. A deterministic test that would provoke that situation is tricky, although zooko is working on one.

The patch itself looks good. Now investigating what test we can use to judge this patch...

so, is that all the code that needs landing for this one? I can't quite tell from the comments on changeset:29336a09163cd3d5. If the only thing left is NEWS, let's close this.
