Doug Hellmann 9324bf0b67 Fix the README.rst file format for pypi
PyPI uses vanila docutils instead of sphinx to render the README to
HTML, so we need to be careful about what directives and roles we use.

stevedore -- Manage dynamic plugins for Python applications

Python makes loading code dynamically easy, allowing you to configure and extend your application by discovering and loading extensions ("plugins") at runtime. Many applications implement their own library for doing this, using __import__ or importlib. stevedore avoids creating yet another extension mechanism by building on top of setuptools entry points. The code for managing entry points tends to be repetitive, though, so stevedore provides manager classes for implementing common patterns for using dynamically loaded extensions.
