[Distutils] Specification for package indexes?

[Jim Fulton]

What form must an index take to be usable with setuptools?

Is there anything documented how such a beast should be organized?
What should it's pages should look like?  Is there any special
pattern setuptools (easy_install?) looks for to find pages with  
download links?
Or does it search any link given?

Also, I've noticed that if you gibe a location with find-links that has
links to distributions for the thing you're looking for, it you can  
specify
pretty much anything as an index.
