One final (optional) question/suggestion...  should we change from 
this (in RECORD files):

     lib/python2.6/site-packages/docutils/__init__.pyc

to this:

     lib/python2.6/site-packages/docutils/__init__.pyc,,

In this way, reader code can be written as:

     for path, hash, size in csv.reader(...):

It's not a high-priority thing, but if anybody is writing code to 
parse RECORD files outside the provided API implementation (eg. 
system packaging tool authors), they'll probably appreciate this.  ;-)
