binary wheels for latest release

[ThomasWaldmann]

A binary wheel is a package that can be easily installed with pip install package.whl. It contains python code plus already compiled C code (so you do not need a compiler, nor development headers on your system).

As PyPi does not let me upload all the wheels, I'll just link them from here:

https://paste.thinkmo.de/dPXrFRMU#borgbackup-0.25.0.list

Release: 0.25.0, all files signed by my GPG key (please check the signature).
source code
linux x86_64 - made on ubuntu 14.04 64bit
linux armv7el - made on raspbian wheezy on a raspberry pi2
mac os x 10.10 - made on a Mac (still missing)
cygwin 64bit - made on windows 10

See also #214 for single-file standalone binaries for some platforms.

I am thinking about dropping support for wheels again, due to following reasons:

• they need to get built on each platform we support
• they are usable only on that specific platform (depends on python version, OS release, ...)
• due to that, I can't upload misc. linux wheels to pypi
• they still need working python, pip
• pyinstaller binary builds are easier to install (just copy 1 file, everything included)

Any comments?

let's drop this and use the standalone binaries in #214.

I am reopening this as a reminder to remove wheel-related documentation and also the links to this issue before next release.
