Patch, originally from Bastian Kleineidam and savagely mutilated by me,
to add the "display metadata" options: --name, --version, --author, and so forth. Main changes: * added 'display_options' class attribute to list all the "display only" options (--help-commands plus the metadata options) * added DistributionMetadata class as a place to put the actual metadata information from the setup script (not to be confused with the metadata display options); the logic dealing with metadata (eg. return self.name or "UNKNOWN") is now in this class * changed 'parse_command_line()' to use the new OO interface provided by fancy_getopt, mainly so we can get at the original order of options on the command line, so we can print multiple lines of distribution meta-data in the order specified by the user * added 'handle_display_options()' to handle display-only options Also fixed some crufty old comments/docstrings.
