py26-docutils-0.6 upgrade proposal

[doc.aronnax@…]

I have attached a new Portfile upgrading py26-docutils from 0.5 to 0.6. This brings in another Python dependency, a module for parsing Roman numerals. This is also attached to this ticket as the new proposed port: py26-roman.

This is rather inconvenient, as the new version's new dependency installs files that conflict with the old version, which will cause activation to fail during upgrade.

Committed py26-roman in r63306 with some corrections.

For future reference, diffs should be generated in unified format (i.e. diff -u).

Updated py26-docutils in r63307.

Note that py26-roman installs itself using setuptools. A colleague who had python26 but not py26-setuptools reported that he was unable to install py26-roman; he was able to after installing py26-setuptools. Should py26-roman depend on py26-setuptools?

py26-roman won't install without setuptools or distribute.

I have filed #23520 for this.
