Log:
Remove references to needing >= some old alpha version of setuptools; I don't like setup.py develop much, so remove instructions for that too

-<p>For development of mechanize using EasyInstall (see the <a
-href="http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/setuptools">setuptools</a> docs
-for details), you have the option of using the <code>develop</code> distutils
-command.  This is particularly useful on Windows, since it functions rather
-like symlinks.  Get the mechanize source, then:
-
-<pre>python setup.py develop</pre>
-
-<p>Note that after every <code>svn update</code> on a
-<code>develop</code>-installed project, you should run <code>setup.py
-develop</code> to ensure that project's dependencies are updated if required.
-
-<p>Also note that, currently, if you also use the <code>develop</code>
-distutils command on the <em>dependencies</em> of mechanize (<em>viz</em>,
-ClientForm) to keep up with SVN, you must run <code>setup.py develop</code> for
-each dependency of mechanize before running it for mechanize itself.  As a
-result, in this case it's probably simplest to just set up your
-<code>sys.path</code> manually rather than using <code>setup.py develop</code>.
-
-<p>One convenient way to get the latest source is:
-
