[Catalog-sig] start on static generation, and caching - apache config.

Hello,

here is the start of an apache config for using static files if they
exist, and the person is not logged in.

The idea will be to have a www/static/cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/
directory filled with the relevant cached files.

Here's the apache config so far.  It checks to see if the person is
authorized, and if they are it does not use the static files.

There are a couple of special cases... ie the /pypi and pypi urls.

Now I just need to finish off the static file generation code.  It
needs a tool which can run every minute or so, which will look for any
changes.  If it finds changes it will  update just those files.  It
will generate the files in a separate directory first, and then move
them in - so people don't download half generated files.  It will
optionally be able to regenerate all the static files - incase there
are database, or template changes.


Of course the config will have to change a little bit for using fcgi
instead of modpython... but there shouldn't be too much to change.

I've also updated the http://wiki.python.org/moin/CheeseShopDev page
with some things I noticed when installing the cheeseshop again on my
laptop.  Mainly dependencies, and missing config steps.
