Using README.txt as the long description. This way we have proper
documentation on the pypi page.
Added github as url in the metadata.
Restructured text syntax fixes

- Double instead of single backticks (``__init__.py`` instead of
  `__init__.py`).

- Double colons (:: instead of :) just before a code example in order to
  render it as a code example with preserved whitespace and linebreaks.

And two cosmetic changes:

- Using a couple of `link text <http://link.url>`_ inline links instead of
  rendering them on a different line.

- A couple of small pep8 python style fixes (indentation).
Renamed README from .txt to .rst: this tells github to render it as restructured text. Neat
Pulled in Wichert's master
