Develop: look for PKG-INFO files recursively

[Wolfgang Schnerring]

At the moment, pkginfo.Develop('path') looks for a folder '*.egg-info' in the given path.

However, a lot of source distributions (Zope's come to mind) are structured like this:

  zope.foo/
    setup.py
    src/
      zope/
      zope.foo.egg-info/

Intuitively, I'd want to point Develop at the directory that contains the setup.py, but then it would have to look for the egg-info folder in subdirectories, too.

I would be willing to merge a branch which added a tested feature for your
use case.

For instance, if all the "normal" candidates fail, you could look for a
'setup.py' in the original path: if present, you could create a
tempdir, and then run 'python setup.py egg_info --egg-base=/path/to/tempdir'
in a subprocess: the 'tempdir' would then contain the '*.egg-info'
directory.

I just pushed a change which implements this feature:
