require setuptools >= 0.6c6 on cygwin, and >= 0.6a9 on other platforms
...
Earlier I tried 0.6a9 (which comes in .deb format on Dapper) and something
didn't work, so I raised it to 0.6c3. However, I didn't make a note of what
failed, and so now I'm hoping that what failed was cygwin-specific. Anyway,
everyone look out for setuptools compatibility problems on the your favorite
platform (and I'll check the buildslaves), and we'll raise the required version
as little as possible and only on the problematic platform.

re-re-factored the download and install instructions
...
Now the instructions about how to download debian packages live on a separate
page of the wiki instead of on the front page or in the README. The README is
only about building from source. The front page contains pointers to those two
other pages (the debiandownloadpage and the README).

extirpate all references the "queen" and "metatracker"
...
This is a potentially disruptive and potentially ugly change to the code base,
because I renamed the object that serves in both roles from "Queen" to
"IntroducerAndVdrive", which is a bit of an ugly name.
However, I think that clarity is important enough in this release to make this
change. All unit tests pass. I'm now darcs recording this patch in order to
pull it to other machines for more testing.
