Setuptools

=====

* Issue 21: Restore Python 2.4 compatibility in ``test_easy_install``.
* Distribute 375: Merged additional warning from Distribute 0.6.46.
* Now honor the environment variable
``SETUPTOOLS_DISABLE_VERSIONED_EASY_INSTALL_SCRIPT`` in addition to the now
deprecated ``DISTRIBUTE_DISABLE_VERSIONED_EASY_INSTALL_SCRIPT``.

=====

* Issue 20: Fix comparison of parsed SVN version on Python 3.

=====

* Issue 1: Disable installation of Windows-specific files on non-Windows systems.
* Use new sysconfig module with Python 2.7 or >=3.2.

=====

* Issue 14: Use markerlib when the ``parser`` module is not available.
* Issue 10: ``ez_setup.py`` now uses HTTPS to download setuptools from PyPI.

=====

* Fix NameError (Issue 3) again - broken in bad merge.

===

* Merged Setuptools and Distribute. See docs/merge.txt for details.

Added several features that were slated for setuptools 0.6c12:

* Index URL now defaults to HTTPS.
* Added experimental environment marker support. Now clients may designate a
PEP-426 environment marker for "extra" dependencies. Setuptools uses this
feature in ``setup.py`` for optional SSL and certificate validation support
on older platforms. Based on Distutils-SIG discussions, the syntax is
somewhat tentative. There should probably be a PEP with a firmer spec before
the feature should be considered suitable for use.
* Added support for SSL certificate validation when installing packages from
an HTTPS service.
