* Added "rotate" command to delete old distribution files, given a set of
patterns to match and the number of files to keep. (Keeps the most recently-modified distribution files matching each pattern.) * Added "saveopts" command that saves all command-line options for the current invocation to the local, global, or per-user configuration file. Useful for setting defaults without having to hand-edit a configuration file. * Added a "setopt" command that sets a single option in a specified distutils configuration file. --HG-- branch : setuptools extra : convert_revision : svn%3A6015fed2-1504-0410-9fe1-9d1591cc4771/sandbox/trunk/setuptools%4041093

+ forms of the distribution name and version, so that distribution files will
+ be generated with parseable names (i.e., ones that don't include '-' in the
+ name or version). Also, this means that if you use the various ``--tag``
+ options of "egg_info", any distributions generated will use the tags in the
