Added several features that were slated for setuptools 0.6c12:
* Index URL now defaults to HTTPS.
-* Added environment marker support. Now clients may designate a PEP-426
- environment marker for "extra" dependencies. For an example, see the
- Setuptools ``setup.py`` script.
+* Added experimental environment marker support. Now clients may designate a
+ PEP-426 environment marker for "extra" dependencies. Setuptools uses this
+ feature in ``setup.py`` for optional SSL and certificate validation support
+ on older platforms. Based on Distutils-SIG discussions, the syntax is
+ somewhat tentative. There should probably be a PEP with a firmer spec before
+ the feature should be considered suitable for use.
* Added support for SSL certificate validation when installing packages from
an HTTPS service.
