Release of GNU pyconfigure 0.1.1

I am pleased to announce the release of GNU pyconfigure 0.1.1.
GNU pyconfigure is a set of template files for Python developers to use
to easily implement the standard GNU configure/install process for their
packages. The standard GNU process generally consists of two familiar
steps:
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/
$ make install
By using the templates provided by GNU pyconfigure, the Python developer
gains the power and flexibility of the time-tested, language-agnostic
GNU installation process, while the user or the software packager
encounters a familiar and convenient interface.
GNU pyconfigure is designed to work either alongside of or in place of
the Python `distutils' module's setup.py script. Thus, if your project
already has a setup.py script, pyconfigure can simply wrap its
functionality, leveraging the work you have already done.

Version 0.1.1 NEWS
This is a bugfix/cleanup release, correcting several problems with
version 0.1
- Running Autoconf no longer produces errant files.
There was a bug in the Python Autoconf macros which produced empty
files. This has been corrected.
- Python syntax errors in some macros were fixed.
- The `src' directory was cleaned up.
Previously, pre-generated files were included in the src
directory. This has been cleaned up in favor of the developer
generating them him or herself.
- The `bootstrap.sh' script was added
The `bootstrap.sh' script can be executed in place of `autoreconf'
(so the developer need not know about `autoreconf').
- PKG-INFO.in has been expanded to show more default classifiers
