Summary: distutils spelling error

Initial Comment:
In dist.py, "license" is spelled "licence".  This 
carries through to the setup.py;  if you want to 
specify a "license", it must be under the key 
"licence".

Also, the description mappings are kind of weird:

setup.py => PKG-INFO
-------------------------------
description => summary
long_description => description

Fixed in revision 1.48 of dist.py.  

The description mappings are a bit strange, but that's what
the Distutils SIG arrived at.

I just realized the licence/license issue is a duplicate of 
#412271.

Maybe this should be retooled as a "make distutils 
meta info keys consistent"?
