Renamed distribution option to eggs.

-Recipe for generating a custom test runner.
+Test-Runner Recipe
+==================
+
+This recipe generates zope.testing test-runenr scripts for testing a
+collection of eggs.  The eggs must already be installed (using the
+zc.recipe.egg recipe)
+
+The test-runner recipe has 2 options:
+
+- The eggs option takes the names of the eggs to be
+  tested.  These are not installed by the recipe. They must be
+  installed by some other recipe (or using the buildout develop
+  option).  The distributions are in the form os setuptools
+  requirements.  Multiple distributions must be listed on separate
+  lines. This option is required.
+
+- The script option gives the name of the script to generate, in the
+  buildout bin directory.  Of the option isn't used, the part name
+  will be used.
+
+
+To do
+-----
+
+- Don't require eggs to be installed by the egg recipe.  Go ahead
+  and try to install them.
+
+- Let the egg recipe do more of the heavy lifting internally.
+
+- Support specifying testrunner defaults (e.g. verbosity, test file 
+  patterns, etc.)
+
