Unless one of the BeOpen Pythoneers is already going to do this, I'll
go ahead and drop the relevant files into places.  Guys?

While we're at it, how about making the filenames for the source code
consistent? 

-rw-r--r--    1 guido    psa       2533053 Apr 13  1999 py152.tgz
-rw-r--r--    1 1103     psa       2259957 Oct 31  1998 pyth151.tgz
-rw-r--r--    1 guido    psa       1907724 May 31  1995 python1.2.tar.gz
-rw-r--r--    1 guido    psa       2037062 Oct 12  1995 python1.3.tar.gz
-rw-r--r--    1 guido    psa       2252481 Oct 25  1996 python1.4.tar.gz
-rw-r--r--    1 guido    psa       2904353 Jan  3  1998 python1.5.tar.gz

I like pythonX.X.tar.gz best, and will change the filenames (leaving
bc-compat symlinks for py152.tgz and pyth151.tgz) unless vetoed.
Though isn't the standard GNU naming convention more like
python-1.5.tar.gz?
