Try:

    NO_COMPILE_SCHEMAS=1 python setup.py install --prefix=/usr
--root="install" --optimize=1

--skip-build isn't working as intended, probably because we do much of
our file collection in the build helpers, rather than splitting out
build and install steps. We should fix this, but honestly I've had
enough of fighting distutils for now/ever. If this leads to actual
problems for packaging, let me know and I'll try and work up the
mental fortitude to take a look sooner rather than later.
