Right now, both register and sdist commands are implementing a
check_metadata function to check that the metadata are complete enough.

check will refactor this and also add a test to validate that the
long_description is/is not reST compliant (if asked *and* if docutils is
present)

of course distutils will not introduce a hard dependency on docutils and
both register and sdist wil continue to work the same way (but use check
underneath)

'check' added in r71473 and r71473

Now working on sdist and register so they use it.
