This is a continuation of the update effort to de-emphasize `distutils`
and make the documentation more consistent.
The main targets of the changes are the files
`docs/userguide/miscellaneous` and `docs/userguide/extension`.
Changes:
- Extracted text about automatic resource extraction and the zip-safe flag
from `userguide/miscellaneous` to `deprecated/resource_extraction` and
`deprecated/zip_safe`.
- These configuration parameters are commonly associated with
``eggs``/``easy_install``/``pkg_resources``, and therefore are
obsolete. Leaving them around in the main parts of the documentation
just confuses users.
- The text in the new files were updated.
- Extracted text about additional metadata from
`userguide/miscellaneous` into the existing `userguide/extension`
document.
- Updated `userguide/extension` to better reflect the status of the
setuptools project.
The text was also changed to explain a little bit more what is the
relationship between ``setuptools`` and ``distutils``.
- Removed `userguide/functionalities_rewrite`.
This file was virtually empty and not bringing any extra value to the
docs.
