Hi,

I want to include nbdime [1] in an easyconfig as an extension.  nbdime
wants to be installed with `pip install .`.  So I add `'use_pip': True`
to the extension dict.

However, there is no pip installed on the machines where I run the eb
jobs, and the OS (EL7) only provides pip 7.1, which is too old for
nbdime, which wants pip>=8.

Is there any way I can add a recent pip to the EasyBuild module itself,
so that pip is always and everywhere available for eb?  The existing pip
easyconfigs all depend on a toolchain, and when I just try loading the
pip module together with EasyBuild, eb complains that there are
unallowed modules loaded.

Cheers,
  Andreas
