Getting ready for 2.0b1 release.

Small nits in the layout of the generated markup.

Note that \file and \filenq do not work inside section titles.

weird macro-expansion issues.  A better solution may be available in the
future, but this will do for now.

Add an index entry.  More should probably be added as well.

distutils/command/bdist_wininst.py:
- the windows installer is again able to compile after installing
  the files. Note: The default has changed, the packager has to
  give --no-target-compile/--no-target-optimize to NOT compile
  on the target system. (Another note: install_lib's --compile
  --optimize options have the same semantics to switch off
  the compilation. Shouldn't the names change?)
- All references to specific python versions are gone.
- A small bug:
    raise DistutilsPlatformError ("...")
  instead of
    raise DistutilsPlatformError, ("...")
- When bdist_wininst creates an installer for one specific python
  version, this is reflected in the name:
    Distutils-0.9.2.win32-py15.exe instead of
    Distutils-0.9.2.win32.exe
- bdist_wininst, when run as script, reads the wininst.exe file
  and rewrites itself. Previously this was done by hand.

    Include the Lib\xml\ package (directory + subdirectories).
    Include the Lib\lib-old\ directory.
    Include the Lib\test\*.xml test cases (well, just one now).
    Remove the redundant install of Lib\*.py (looks like a stray duplicate
        line that's been there a long time).  Because of this, the new
        installer is a little smaller despite having more stuff in it.

This closes SF bug 112944.

Document some things in the 2.0 NEWS files that should be mentioned here.

  - 'mkpath()' the distribution dir in case of empty manifest
  - warn if empty manifest
  - detect, warn about, and skip non-regular files in manifest

  bug to boot: now works even if both MANIFEST and MANIFEST.in don't exist.
Don't hardcode setup.py, use 'self.distribution.script_name'.

better explanation of manifest files, in particular.

"manual" class documents.

2.0b1 for Windows will not have bothered getting 1.6.  Also changed
"Changed, New, Obsolete Tools" to say "None" since nobody had put an entry
there.

Removed some attributions from the shorter entries in Changed Modules,
because that section is so long.
