there are various setups, where install of a sdist for testing may be unwanted, or something like a setup.py might not even exist

yet one would want to run something like py.test in there in different envs

fix issue11: add a skip_install per-testenv setting which
prevents the installation of a package. Thanks Julian Krause.

FYI my current "workaround" is to skipsdist=True in [tox], then use usedevelop in distinct testenvs. Then I manually test my sdist in its own testenv. Not ideal, but passable!

I agree. I guess something like "do_install", defaulting to "True", would make sense. I'd be happy to review a PR implementing it.

A per-env option would be helpful for running tools like flake8 which don't need to install your package and all their dependencies.

The option "skipsdist" already exists but it seems you can only set globally in [tox].
