commands

It is nice that "./setup.py" on it's own gives some hints:
{{{
Available commands:
build Build generated files
dev Setup for development
dist_xo Create a xo bundle package
dist_source Create a tar source package
release Do a new release of the bundle
fix_manifest Add missing files to the manifest
genpot Generate the gettext pot file
install Install the activity in the system
}}}
But the help goes no deeper, so it's just been trial and error from here
on. Would be great to have some extra built-in help about what each
command does.
