Seems to be a regression from PEP517 switch.  Apparently, setup.py used to hardcode install paths in _config.py when `setup.py install` was used.  Now we use wheels, so it instead uses sys.prefix to locate it.  This breaks when venv with system site-packages is used because pkgcore tries to find its config files in the venv instead of the actual install location.
