Comment (by warner):

 Replacing $(RUNPP) with something in our {{{bin/tahoe}}} loses the
 ability to get a repl running without actually importing the tahoe code
 (at least allmydata.scripts and that infernal {{{__init__.py}}}). I
 don't think that's a big loss, though. I *do* like the removal of code
 from setup.py.

 Relying more heavily upon the gross 'darcsver'-prefixing in setup.cfg is
 bad, since I want to get rid of setuptools and this reliance makes that
 more difficult, but I don't have the energy to fight for the Makefile
 any more. So I'm willing to go along with that too.

 So I'm +1 on this as long as we really try to make bin/tahoe and
 {{{__init__.py}}} and our {{{setup.py}}} simpler in the near future.
