Suggestion for pyshp_usage

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi,

I saw the usage.py file used to get installed which was a bit of a generic 
name.  Now that been changed to pyshp_usage.py, so it's more specific which is 
good.

Installed it looks like

ls -1 e1/lib/python2.7/site-packages/

pyshp_usage.py
pyshp_usage.pyc
shapefile.py
shapefile.pyc

The pyshp_usage.py is not really used though since it is just a docstring in 
rst format that has examples run by doctest.

Suggest that pyshp_usage.py could be changed to a README or README.txt file 
with the doc in rst format.  doctest should be able to run on that file too, 
might just have to adjust a bit.

Advantage with this is that the README file will be packaged as part of the 
sdist (source distribution) but won't be installed into 
lib/python2.7/site-packages/.

Thoughts?

:)
