Hi Holger,

over the course of the next few months i'd like to run the following
actions on pylib

1. de-vendor apipkg - the version last released has bugfixes and works
in bpython (low efford)
2. de-vendor iniconfig - that allows to get rid of the pylib dependency
more easily (i already did a release, low to medium effort)
3. remove the svn paths (they are broken and nobody is stepping up to
fix them)
    im considering making a call for participation on that one (low to
medium effort)
