Summary: Add download_url to setup()

Initial Comment:
For a Python package installer, it would be a good idea to provide a "download URL" metadata keyword in the next release of Python.

What will this line contain, if there are several download
URLs possible (zip, tar.gz, multiple exe fir different
Python versions?)

Will it work with redirects a la Sourceforge?

The attached patch implements the new metadata keyword.

Open question: if a value isn't provided, the PKG-INFO file 
will contain the line "Download-URL: UNKNOWN".  Should the line 
simply be omitted in this case?

There should be an updated metadata PEP; I'm not sure if PEP 241 should be edited or what, but will ask the relevant people.
