[Distutils] subway setup.py failure

[Kevin Dangoor]

setuptools thinks that "-something" after a version number means that
this is a "patchlevel" version. "2.1.0rc2" would look like a prelease,
"2.1.0-rc2" looks like a post-release patch level, and thus appears
higher than "2.1.0".

We had to explicitly exclude the "-beta" and "-rc" versions.
