[Distutils] Version comparison - round 2

Hello,

I have gathered all the documentation for the versioning lib in a
single document,

  http://bitbucket.org/tarek/distutilsversion/src/tip/README.txt

It explains how the existing tools work and how "verlib", that we
built during Pycon, works.

It still needs to be completed by some people that were present, but a
new feedback round
is more than welcome.

The goal here is to provide a version comparison standard to be
included in Distutils.

We do need such a standard to be able to include the
"install_requires" metadata as planned
(that will be a change in PEP 345)  to be able to provide a standard
for version comparisons.

Cheers
Tarek
