UNDO: forget about old peers (closes #26)
Add a new method to RIIntroducer, to allow the central introducer node to
remove peers from the active set after they've gone away. Without this,
client nodes accumulate stale peer FURLs forever. This introduces a
compatibility break, as old introducers won't know about the 'lost_peers'
message, although the errors produced are probably harmless.

test_introducer.py: turn off the defer.setDebugging(True) call that was left over from a troubleshooting session: it slows down the test suite by a factor of 2
bump test timeout even higher
It does indeed take longer than 2400 seconds to run test_upload_and_download on a virtual windows machine when the underlying real machine is heavily loaded down with filesystem analysis runs...
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).
fix the TESTING THAT IT IS PROPERLY INSTALLED section
My oh-so-useful test subject here skipped that section because he thought it was part of a section that he was finished with.
clarify instructions on how to get build dependencies for debian
My test subject here didn't used "locate" to find something named
"debian/control" somewhere on his filesystem... :-)
make big distinction between downloading precompiled packages and building yourself
Both of my two test subjects here stumbled on this by thinking that building on debian was related to building debian packages was related to downloading precompiled packages.
grand unified version numbers
Now the allmydata python package, the setup.py script, and the debian packages all get their tahoe version number from the same place.
make separate makefile targets for test-foolscap and test-TEST
So that if you want to run just one test, you can run "make test-TEST TEST=that.one.test" and not get the whole foolscap suite thrown in for the bargain.
foolscap snapshot: bump some unit tests up to very high timeouts because my poor G4 867 MHz PowerBook, which is busy doing video iChat, takes a long time to run these tests

zfec: switch back to minimum setuptools of 0.6c3
This is newer than the one that comes with Dapper Ubuntu 6.06, *but* if there is no setuptools at all installed, then the bootstrap script will download one itself. So with this patch, this will install cleanly on a Dapper system as long as the Dapper version of python-setuptools is *not* installed.
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.
update README to mention which dependencies are python packages
In particular, my brother is an Ubuntu/Debian user who said it would be nice if
we had mentioned that those packages were named "python-foo" in the apt package
namespace.
