Description: 
        
        Envbuilder is a system for automatically building virtualenvs in Python.
        To do this, it uses a .env config file to define *parcels*, which are
        individual pieces of software to be checked out and installed into
        the virtualenv.
        
        It is mainly tested under Linux, but it should work under any platform that
        supports unix-y commands (including cygwin).  In fact, you might even be
        able to make one config file work on both Windows and \*nix if you're
        careful.
        
        Envbuilder has a few goals:
        
        * **Transparency** - You should understand what your build is doing and
        how it works.
        * **Developer-friendly** - Although envbuilder is perfectly fine for production
        deployment, it is primarily intended to make work environments for developers.
        * **Dynamic** - Envbuilder should be able to work with a variety of technologies,
        languages, and frameworks.  Developers shouldn't be limited to a narrowly defined
        set of technologies.  And neither should their tools!
        * **VCS-neutral** - Envbuilder will work with your shiny new DVCS out of the box.
        In fact, it will work with any VCS that has a command-line interface.  Use it
        with hg, git, bzr, SVN, or CVS (if you're a masochist).

        0.2.2
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

        0.2.1
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        * Adding a fix so that clean_pyc doesn't delete files in the python2.6
        directory.
        
        0.2.0
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        * Added a couple of examples.  If you already have a working envbuilder
        installation, there is no requirement to upgrade.
        
        0.2.0b2
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        * Required the correct version of ConfigObj.  This update is not necessary
        if you already have a working envbuilder installation.
        
        0.2.0b1
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        * Readded the envbuilder entry point as renaming it caused some strange
        issues.
        
        0.2.0b
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        * The name option on parcels is now set automatically from the subsection
        name.
        * Added percent (command) variables.
        * Added the CWD built-in variable.
        * Added a dir option for parcels that defaults to the name.
        * Removed the test command.  This can now be done with custom commands.
        * The envbuilder entry point is now envb.
