[Community] Rtree installation errors

[Sean Gillies]

Rtree 0.5, I presume? It seems that the released code was broken. See  
also

   http://lists.gispython.org/pipermail/community/2009-August/ 
002162.html

Please revert to 0.4.3. I'm going to propose that we pull 0.5, do a  
review, more testing and then make a new release.
