Well, the idea is that once we have this meta-data in a standard format,
it's easy to upload to the catalog server.  Then a user could simply
query the catalog server and ask it what the most recent version of
the package is.  This prevents (in theory) the problem of the URL
changing after a version has been pushed out...

I've even got the code together for automaticly pushing out the meta-data
file (even if it's simply included in the sdist tar file) to the catalog
server.
