This tool is a little crude; it runs out of a cron job and will
forward to staging a notice about any new lines in the declared log
files, truncating if there are more than 10 lines.

This will allow us to substantially decrease the server-side work that
we do to support our Mirroring systems (since the personal mirrors can
request only messages that user sent) and also is what we need to
support a single-stream Zulip widget that we embed in webpages.

This way command-line scripts that use our `optparse` populator can
still specify a custom client without munging their `parser` object.

We previously sent our client type to the server as a GET/POST parameter
of "client=<something>", most commonly "client=API: Python".
We switch here to providing the same information as a User-agent header
sent on each request, which is more standards-compliant.
Also added is some data about the platform the user is using. If your
client string was set to "MyLittleZulip/1.0", the resultant string could
look something like this:
MyLittleZulip/1.0 (Ubuntu; 12.04)

This is designed to be run as a "change-commit" trigger. See [Perforce's
documentation][1] on how to set up a trigger for your platform.

Since we're using the module outside of a git repository context we
don't have a git config to reference. Instead, we'll just use the
environment variables we're passed.

Previously, users of setuptools would get our data embedded in eggs.
Eggs are horrible things, but more importantly our package data should
be free, in a well-known albeit system-dependant path that is
independent of the package.
By specifying [install_data][1] as an alias of install, we assure that
our data (examples, integrations, etc) are placed in $data/share as
$DEITY intended.
Alternative suggestions included force-adding "--old-and-unmanageable",
which would invoke the distutils-style install command, but that had the
unfortunate side effect of turning off eggs and dependency resolution
altogether.
We could also use "--single-version-externally-managed", but I think
that was designed to be used by package managers, not by us.
In any case, both of the above were fragile and might break if the user
specified additional options to setup.py.
In closing, Python module management is horrible. See [this][2],
[this][3], and [this][4] for info about the status quo, and [this][5]
for information about crack to be smoked later down the road. Don't even
get me started about [PEP 427 -- Python wheels][6].
