INSTALLATION: Remove the coexist.patch instructions
****************
setup.py:
Remove the idles script, add some words on IDLE Fork to the
long_description, and clean up some line spacing.

NOTE that the above procedure will install idlefork IDLE on top of any
-"official" IDLE that may be already installed. If you wish to avoid doing
-that, there is a patch file, coexist.patch, in the idlefork directory. If,
-_*before*_ you install idle, you run
-
-# patch -p0 < coexist.patch
-
-idlefork will be modified so that it installs as .../site-packages/fildlelib,
-idle as fidle, and idles as fidles. (If you previously installed without
-patching, remove the idlefork/build directory before running the install.)
-
-NOTE: You must then append "fidlelib" to site-packages.pth !
-
-Then "official" IDLE and idlefork IDLE will exist side by side for comparision.
-And if idlefork is temporarily broken :-(, well, you have your old IDLE ways.
-
-This is obviously an expedient development hack, but if popular, I imagine
-there could be a setup option.
