Added ``develop`` command to ``setuptools``-based packages. This command

installs an ``.egg-link`` pointing to the package's source directory, and
script wrappers that ``execfile()`` the source versions of the package's
scripts.  This lets you put your development checkout(s) on sys.path
without having to actually install them.  (To uninstall the link, use
use ``setup.py develop --uninstall``.)

    just creates or updates the "projectname.egg-info" directory, without
