Moving pwclient into its own project

[Jeremy Kerr]

Hi Stephen,

I have no specific objections to this (aside from splitting the mailing
list - I think it'd be a mistake to split the potential community
there), but:

Makes sense; I have very little experience with PyPi, but does that mean
we need separate repos?

> - I want to be able to release new pwclient features to everyone

I don't see why that needs an update? There should be separate channels
for each of these.

That sounds awesome, but doesn't mean we need a separate repo.

Distros should have no issue with producing multiple (installable)
binary packages from one source package.

Overall, I'm not convinced that this is a good idea, but I'm certainly
not the deciding factor in this :)

Cheers,
