[Distutils] New PEP : dependency specification

[Nathaniel Smith]

The new version is looking pretty good to me!

My main concern still is that specification of whitespace handling is
still kinda confusing/underspecified. The text says "all whitespace is
optional", but the grammar says that it's mandatory in some cases
(e.g. url-marker, still not sure why -- I'd understand if it were
mandatory before the ";" since ";" is a valid character in URLs, but
it says it's mandatory afterward?), and the grammar is still wrong
about whitespace in some cases (e.g. it says ">= 1.0" is an illegal
versionspec).

I guess the two options are either to go through carefully sprinkling
*WSP's about at all the appropriate places, or else to tackle things
more systematically by adding a lexer layer...

Also, unrelated: do you want to import the text for PEP 426 about the
requirements for hashes in URLs?
