``safe_name()`` now allows dots in project names, and there is a new

``to_filename()`` function that escapes project names and versions for
safe use in constructing egg filenames from a Distribution object's
metadata.

Note that allowing dots may now cause problems for projects with '.' in
the name that were previously installed, since such projects had to be
spelled with a '-' before.  The '-' name will no longer match the '.'
project, and there is no real room for backward compatibility here.  :(
