Previously, the package list was manually specified, which meant that it became out of date any time a package was added, and IPython would become uninstallable. This would not be noticed for some time by developers, who always use setupegg.py --develop or symlinks.

This update immediately revealed that IPython.zmq.tests and IPython.extensions.tests were never included in 0.11. Other than that, there is no difference in the package list.

Wait for after 0.11, in case of unforeseen side effects.

@fperez is there any reason that we should not do it this way? The only one I see is that you can change what's installed by creating new files inside the IPython dir, but this doesn't strike me as anything but an improvement.

Nope, that's certainly the right way to do it. Merge away!

A bug in pyzmq forces us to have a workaround, which can be deleted when the pyzmq dependency is upgraded to fix pyzmq issue ipython#646.

Thanks to @minrk for helping work on the code and also for the bugfix in pyzmq.
