[Distutils] Setuptools 0.7.2 and Distribute 0.7 (compatibility wrapper) on PyPI

[Jason R. Coombs]

Is the bitbucket 'raw' source not suitable? It uses the version tag to 
indicate precisely which file is appropriate, which means we don't have to 
redundantly host that file elsewhere.

Oh, I think I see - there's no link that doesn't change - you want a permalink 
for the latest stable release. I hadn't considered that use case, but you're 
right - we do want that. Perhaps the file could be added to pythonhosted.org 
alongside the documentation. Or maybe it belongs on bitbucket in `downloads`.

I need to figure out which is more straightforward w.r.t. authentication. The 
distribute process was messy because it involved SSH and keys that had to be 
manually managed.

I'm leaning toward uploading it to BitBucket downloads as part of the release 
script.

I'll put ez_setup.py for 0.7.2 in downloads for now. You can assume that's 
where the permalink will be.

If anyone has a better suggestion, please raise it.
