I'm sure I can't be the only person suffering from PEP overload when it 
comes to packaging. Any chance we could at least get dev/post markers in 
PEP386 and get it done and out of the way?

I have a feeling that PEP345 and PEP390 along with David's alternative 
proposal are all related in such a way that the best thing ot do is 
bottom out the latter two first, but they all seem to depend (whether or 
not they want to admit it ;-) ) on PEP 386...
