Proposals

Proposal - Setup.py as a Class not a procedure - David Lyon

Let's modernise setup and make it Object Oriented.

This will make it more user friendly and easier to learn and use.

To do this, we'll need to:

1) Extend setup.cfg to hold more/all-of the metadata

2) Turn 'setup' into a class (rather than a procedure)

3) Provide member information:

4) self.pre_setup() - A method run before setup

5) self.post_setup() - A method for post-install configuration
