[Distutils] PEP 566 - metadata 1.3 changes

[Thomas Kluyver]

Allow me to prod this topic again. ;-)

I'm happy with PEP 566 as it stands.

Do we want to  specify 'email body is long description' in this PEP?
It appears to have at least some real world support, but I'm not
familiar enough with the email metadata format to write a proper
description of it.
Thanks,
Thomas
