[Catalog-sig] egg_info in PyPI

See below for how exactly the data is provided (in particular, the 
oldest egg is used, unless the user explicitly posts other data).

Whether or not the data is useful to anybody else, I don't know
(I don't use eggs myself).
Jim said it will be useful to him, so did a number of other people.
PyPI itself will not try to interpret the data in any way.

Sure. I expect that this service remains useful only until all packages
have been converted to PEP 345.
