Setuptools

=====

* Distribute 58: Added --user support to the develop command
* Distribute 11: Generated scripts now wrap their call to the script entry point
in the standard "if name == 'main'"
* Added the 'DONT_PATCH_SETUPTOOLS' environment variable, so virtualenv
can drive an installation that doesn't patch a global setuptools.
* Reviewed unladen-swallow specific change from
http://code.google.com/p/unladen-swallow/source/detail?spec=svn875&r=719
and determined that it no longer applies. Distribute should work fine with
Unladen Swallow 2009Q3.
* Distribute 21: Allow PackageIndex.open_url to gracefully handle all cases of a
httplib.HTTPException instead of just InvalidURL and BadStatusLine.
* Removed virtual-python.py from this distribution and updated documentation
to point to the actively maintained virtualenv instead.
* Distribute 64: use_setuptools no longer rebuilds the distribute egg every
time it is run
* use_setuptools now properly respects the requested version
* use_setuptools will no longer try to import a distribute egg for the
wrong Python version
* Distribute 74: no_fake should be True by default.
* Distribute 72: avoid a bootstrapping issue with easy_install -U

=====

* Unified the bootstrap file so it works on both py2.x and py3k without 2to3
(patch by Holger Krekel)

=====

* Distribute 65: cli.exe and gui.exe are now generated at build time,
depending on the platform in use.

* Distribute 67: Fixed doc typo (PEP 381/PEP 382).

* Distribute no longer shadows setuptools if we require a 0.7-series
setuptools. And an error is raised when installing a 0.7 setuptools with
distribute.

* When run from within buildout, no attempt is made to modify an existing
setuptools egg, whether in a shared egg directory or a system setuptools.

* Fixed a hole in sandboxing allowing builtin file to write outside of
the sandbox.

=====

* Added the generation of ``distribute_setup_3k.py`` during the release.
This closes Distribute 52.

* Added an upload_docs command to easily upload project documentation to
PyPI's https://pythonhosted.org. This close issue Distribute #56.

* Fixed a bootstrap bug on the use_setuptools() API.
