Remove 'created by' lines; people can use CVS for this, and the information is often out of date

Whitespace normalization.

Changed so lines that are all comment (or just whitespace + comment)
...
are completely skipped, rather than being treated as blank lines
(and then subject to the 'skip_blanks' flag). This allows us
to process old-style Setup files, which rely on
hello \\
# boo!
there
coming out as "hello there".

Fixed precendence bug that meant setting skip_blanks to false didn't work
under some circumstances.

[change from 2000/08/11, propagating now to distutils copy]
...
Factored the guts of 'warn()' out to 'gen_error()', and added the
'error()' method (trivial thanks to the refactoring).

Dropped the 'collapse_ws' option and replaced it with 'collapse_join' --
it's *much* faster (no 're.sub()') and this is the reason I really added
'collapse_ws', ie. to remove leading whitespace from a line being joined
to the previous line.

Added all documentation.
...
Slightly improved the code for dealing with newline on a comment line,
and for stripping whitespace.

Allow comment characters (#) to be escaped:
...
- did away with 'comment_re' option -- it's just not that simple anymore
- heavily revised the main logic in 'readline()' to accomodate this
Beefed up 'warn()': 'line' can be list or tuple, and 'msg' is
automatically converted to a string.

Replaced the last attempt at an "unreadline" with one that actually

works on non-seekable file-like objects, such as URLs. (Oops.)
