Reviewers

When building directory indexes, we now add a`#md5=` to the end of the
filename in the link, indicating the MD5 checksum of the file, as
provided by S3.

This is used by pip (as part of the package-related PEPs) to verify the
authenticity of the files we provide. This, in theory, allows users to
install without using the --allow-unverified flag (though they still
need --allow-external, for now).

In practice, current versions of pip are still very hostile against
externally-hosted index.html files, which we use. This may be fixed in
pip 1.6, from the sounds of it. If so, we're now better set up for that.

Updated some test directories, and saw the proper md5sums. Downloaded and
verified they were correct.
