Having matplotlib installed globally causes test_site to fail, due to the .pth file importing types. The point of the test is to monitor startup dependencies (and thus time) for the core interpreter and standard library, not third-party libraries, so having a test failure due to a .pth is not overly useful. Solution suggested by Steve Dower: hack out all .pth handling during this one test, leaving everything else unchanged.

I think hitting adventurous users like Chris who locally compile and test with this failure is wrong. There is no core dev 'site' expert, so I picked 'testing'.
