Switch back to installing IDLE as a package. The IDLE GUI and the
subprocess will both attempt to start up via the package mechanism, but if
IDLE is not yet installed it is possible to run by calling python idle.py
in the IDLE source directory, or to add the source directory to sys.path.
One advantage of doing it this way is IDLE stays off sys.path.

1. Update MANIFEST.in to include all non-pure Python files
2. PyShell and idlever reflect Rev 0.9a0
3. setup.py modified to install IDLE as a collection of modules with
a .pth file living at the idlelib level in site-packages. This was
done to make it easier to run from the source directory prior to
installing IDLE. This approach may change back to the package
technique depending on what happens with the Mac installation
development.

M setup.py
To be able to run from the source directory or from an installed version
of IDLE, and also to allow the subprocess to find run(), Python needs to
have the idlelib package on its path.
1. Modify setup.py to supply a .pth file living at same level as idlelib
2. Move boolcheck to PyShell.py
3. Remove boolcheck and path setting code from the "idle" script
1. Make it easier to change the package and script installation names.
2. Update the text files transferred to include the .def and new .txt
files.
3. Update the description and long description, change email to
python-dev, update the url to point at sourceforge.
4. Rename the build and install classes for clarity.
The default behaviour of idlefork idle is to open an editor window instead
of a shell. Complex expressions may be run in a fresh environment by
selecting "run". There are times, however, when a shell is desired.
Though one can be started by "idle -t 'foo'", this script is more
convenient. In addition, a shell and an editor window can be started
in parallel by "idles -e foo.py".
