Inspired by FreeBSD "ports".
Fix the PLISTs accordingly.
Also, while at it, remove now obsolete compileall.py calls in post-install
targets and insure that extension.mk is in included before builinlinks of
other Python modules.
Discussed with/ok'ed by drochner@.

Summary of changes from 1.0.0:
* Message sections are now lists of RRsets, not lists of nodes.
* Nodes no longer have names; owner names are associated with
nodes in the Zone object's nodes dictionary.
* Many tests have been added to the test suite; dnspython 1.0.0
had 47 tests, 1.1.0 has 275. The improved testing uncovered a
number of bugs, all of which have been fixed.
* The NameDict class provides a dictionary whose keys are DNS
names. In addition to behaving like a normal Python dictionary,
it also provides the get_deepest_match() method. If, for
example, you had a dictionary containing the keys foo.com and
com, then get_deepest_match() of the name a.b.foo.com would
match the foo.com key.
* A new Renderer class for those applications which want finer
control over the DNS wire format message generation process.
* Support for a "TooBig" exception if the size of wire format
output exceeds a specified limit.
* Zones now have find_rrset() and find_rdataset() convenience
methods. They let you retrieve rdata with the specified name
and type in one call, e.g.:
rrset = zone.find_rrset('foo', 'mx')
* Other new zone convenience methods include: find_node(),
delete_node(), delete_rdataset(), replace_rdataset(),
iterate_rdatasets(), and iterate_rdatas().
* get_ variants of find_ methods are provided; the difference is
that get_ methods return None if the desired object doesn't
exist, whereas the find_ methods raise an exception.
* Zones now have a to_file() method.
* The message and zone from_file() methods allow Unicode filenames
on platforms (and versions of python) which support
them. Universal newline support is also used if available.
* The Zone class now implements more of the standard mapping
interface. E.g. you can say zone.keys(), zone.get('name'),
zone.iteritems(), etc. __iter__() has been changed to iterate
the keys rather than values to match the standard mapping
interface's behavior.
* Rdatasets support more set operations
* Zone and Node factories may be specified, allowing applications
to subclass Zone or Node and yet still use the algorithms which
build zones from master files or AXFR data.
* dns.ipv6.inet_ntoa() now minimizes the text representation of
IPv6 addresses in the usual way,
e.g. "0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0001" is minimized to
"::1".
* dns.query functions now take an optional address family parameter.
All known bugs from 1.0.0 are fixed in this release.

will work even after the release is no longer current.

Changes from 1.0.0b3:
* dns/rdata.py: Rdatas now implement rich comparisons instead of
__cmp__.
* dns/name.py: Names now implement rich comparisons instead of
__cmp__.
* dns/inet.py (inet_ntop): Always use our code, since the code
in the socket module doesn't support AF_INET6 conversions if
IPv6 sockets are not available on the system.
* dns/resolver.py (Answer.__init__): A dangling CNAME chain was
not raising NoAnswer.
* Added a simple resolver Cache class.
* Added an expiration attribute to answer instances.

dnspython is a DNS toolkit for Python. It provides both high and low
level access to DNS. The high level classes perform queries for data
of a given name, type, and class, and return an answer set. The low
level classes allow direct manipulation of DNS zones, messages, names,
and records.
