[issue5480] ".egg-info" => ".pkg-info"

Thank you.  I've now read PEP 376.  It is good.  However, this same
issue remains in PEP 376 like it does in today's distutils.  If the new
work in PEP 376 is going to continue to use the word "egg" in its
filenames, then we need to send out an announcement of some sort to say
"HEY!  Pay attention!  This is actually a supported part of the core of
Python even though it has the word 'egg' in it.".  I suppose including a
sentence to that effect in the distutils release announcements and in
the "What's new in Python" document will suffice.
