This change was not good. The embedded antlr.py is patched 
for xlwt. See https://github.com/python-excel/xlwt/issues/73

This change thus got reverted and I uploaded the resulting package
with a few more cleanups.

AFAIK it's OK to not use git-dpm. However it seems that the team
documentation would need an update... also since we haven't documented
the switch to salsa either.
