Templates

---------

- Remove ``ez_setup.py`` and its import from all paster templates,
  samples, and tutorials for ``distribute`` compatibility.  The
  documentation already explains how to install virtualenv (which will
  include some ``setuptools`` package), so these files, imports and
  usages were superfluous.

Deprecations
------------

- The ``options`` kw arg to the ``repoze.bfg.router.make_app``
  function is deprecated.  In its place is the keyword argument
  ``settings``.  The ``options`` keyword continues to work, and a
  deprecation warning is not emitted when it is detected.  However,
  the paster templates, code samples, and documentation now make
  reference to ``settings`` rather than ``options``.  This
  change/deprecation was mainly made for purposes of clarity and
  symmetry with the ``get_settings()`` API and dicussions of
  "settings" in various places in the docs: we want to use the same
  name to refer to the same thing everywhere.

-If you want to use setuptools in your package's setup.py, just include this
-file in the same directory with it, and add this to the top of your setup.py::
-
-    from ez_setup import use_setuptools
-    use_setuptools()
-
-If you want to require a specific version of setuptools, set a download
-mirror, or use an alternate download directory, you can do so by supplying
-the appropriate options to ``use_setuptools()``.
