Problems with 10.0.0

New submission from exarkun <[email protected]>:

  1. The `INSTALL` file (Skipping the things from #4344):
    1. Zope Interface seems to be up to about version 3.5.  The URL we link to has also been abandoned for some time.
    1. As far as I can tell, we are no longer going to be distributing Windows .exe installers.  Instead, it seems we'll be building MSIs.
  1. The `README` file:
    1. The list of foreign event loops we integrate with is a bit out of date, ''Tk, GTK+, GTK+ 2, Qt, Mac OS X, or wxPython''
      1. We don't support Qt anymore (although hopefully that will change again)
      1. There is no '''supported''' OS X or wxPython integration.  There's some experimental, half-working, half-broken reactors.  We should differentiate these from the '''supported''' event loops.
    1. ''Examples on how to use Twisted APIs are located in doc/examples'' - this looks like the pre-split examples directory; `doc/core/examples` is probably where it should be pointing.  Or it should have multiple pointers, to each subproject's examples.
    1. Likewise, `doc/howto/index.xhtml` is not a valid path.
    1. What's with the ''::'' all over?
    1. I think the preferred hostname for Freenode is `chat.freenode.net`.
  1. `twisted/__init__.py` contains a Python version check intended to prevent use on Python versions.  It still allows Python 2.3, though this is no longer officially supported.
