Using an existing Astrometry installation (from Conda environment)

[jasonbuechler]

Astrometry can be installed via the conda-forge channel: https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/astrometry
...but when attempting to python install setup.py from this package's root, no attempt seems to be made to verify if Astrometry is already available.

How can one instruct this package to "see" an existing Astrometry installation already in the $PATH?

I spent ...far too long... trying to decrypt setuptools' documentation to hack it together myself, without success, but would be more than happy to modify setup.py/etc with a little guidance.

Thanks!

@cmccully I apologize for @'ing you but figured it was worth a try, on the off chance you don't have issue-notifications enabled for this repo.

No need to apologize. I did not have the notifications turned on. Let me take a look.
