Overhaul setup.py to simplify installation and maintenance.  It's no longer
necessary to manually add packages or files to setup.py.  Optional features
can now be controlled with '--with-X' and '--without-X' options.  Bumped
version number to 0.5a4.  (XXX Need to update INSTALL.txt w/options info!)

Added new 'version' tool that automatically edits files to update version
information in them.  Just execute the 'version' file in the main PEAK
source directory.  (Use '--help' for help.)  You can use this tool with your
own projects by creating 'version' and 'version.dat' files in your project
directory, similar to the ones used by PEAK.  The 'version' file is a ZConfig
file that describes your project's version numbering scheme(s), formats,
and the files that need to be edited, while the 'version.dat' file contains
the current version number values.  Source for the tool, including the
configuration file schema, is in the 'peak.running.tools.version' package.
(Error handling and documentation, alas, are still minimal.)

Also, bumped PEAK version stamps to 0.5a3, using the new tool.  (Yay!)

Forgot to update release date info for the tutorial.

More doc edits; the tutorial should now be completely up to date (I hope!)

Minor edits/fixes to tutorial.

Misc. typo fixes

Fleshed out "Getting Started With PEAK" with more API and package details.
Also, misc. formatting and cosmetic cleanups.

Fixed misc. awkward turns of phrase.  Fixed formatting of double-quoted
phrases.  Added document formatting convention subsection.  Changed
car make names to 'aCar' and 'anotherCar' to avoid needing to include
trademark disclaimer.  :)

Some proofing, editing, and commenting out of stuff to run drafts faster,
but mainly added 2 new pages of (very) rough draft material on the basics
of attribute bindings.  My main worry about this new material is that it
goes into way too much detail about some things, at least for people who
just want to get in and do stuff.  When I try to be less detailed, I end up
worrying about the people like me who insist on knowing exactly how things
work.  Sigh.  I think I'll just have to get outside opinions on it.
Anyway, once again, this is new and unproofed material.

Remarked out \makeindex commands for now, to speed up .PDF generation for
draft copies.

Started a basic concepts introduction for the "binding" chapter of the
tutorial.

Abstract and introduction for the new PEAK core tutorial.
