-Backward Compatibility
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Package indexes that wish to support setuptools versions prior to 0.6b4 should
-also follow these rules:
-
-* Homepage and download links must be preceded with ``"<th>Home Page"`` or
-  ``"<th>Download URL"``, in addition to (or instead of) the ``rel=""``
-  attributes on the actual links.  These marker strings do not need to be
-  visible, or uncommented, however!  For example, the following is a valid
-  homepage link that will work with any version of setuptools::
-
-    <li>
-     <strong>Home Page:</strong>
-     <!-- <th>Home Page -->
-     <a rel="homepage" href="http://sqlobject.org">http://sqlobject.org</a>
-    </li>
-
-  Even though the marker string is in an HTML comment, older versions of
-  EasyInstall will still "see" it and know that the link that follows is the
-  project's home page URL.
-
-* The pages described by paragraph 3(b) of the preceding section *must*
-  contain the string ``"Index of Packages</title>"`` somewhere in their text.
-  This can be inside of an HTML comment, if desired, and it can be anywhere
-  in the page.  (Note: this string MUST NOT appear on normal project pages, as
-  described in paragraphs 2 and 3(a)!)
-
-In addition, for compatibility with PyPI versions that do not use ``#md5=``
-fragment IDs, EasyInstall uses the following regular expression to match PyPI's
-displayed MD5 info (broken onto two lines for readability)::
-
-    <a href="([^"#]+)">([^<]+)</a>\n\s+\(<a href="[^?]+\?:action=show_md5
-    &amp;digest=([0-9a-f]{32})">md5</a>\)

-Future Plans
-============
-
-* Additional utilities to list/remove/verify packages
-* Signature checking?  SSL?  Ability to suppress PyPI search?
-* Display byte progress meter when downloading distributions and long pages?
-* Redirect stdout/stderr to log during run_setup?
