[Distutils] enhancing .pypirc file for multiple servers handling

[Tarek Ziadé]

Hello,

I have create a "iw.dist" package that implements two distutils commands:

- mregister
- mupload

They allow to register and upload packages on several PyPI-like servers,
with an ehnanced version
of .pypirc (compatible with the old version)

For example this .pypirc file adds a new server:

  [server-login]
  username:tarek
  password:secret

  [local-psc]
  host: http://localhost:8080/plone/psc 
  username:admin
  password:admin

And I can register/upload my egg both to the cheeseshop and to my local
PyPI-like server, like this:

  $ python setup.py mregister sdist mupload

Each command will ask at the prompt for each server if the user wants to
perform
the call on it.

a prototype of iw.dist is available at the cheeseshop
