Uhm...instead of?

xlutils requires xlrd and xlrd as prerequisites.  Just because xlutils upstream
bundles these other projects into its distribution as well as errorhandler, if
the system doesn't provide them.. that doesn't mean its correct to package it
that way.

Project policy would actually suggest that because they are separate codebases
it is preferred to keep them as a separate modules.  The correct way to provide
support for xlutils is to package xlrd and xlwt first then have xlutil depend
on those packages.

Now this happens all the time with python stuff unknowningly. But I'm not
inclined to deliberately go against policy here..especially since I'm doing
this package specifically to meet the matplotlib dependency as narrowly as
possible.  

If you want to get python-xlutils packaged, and your already a sponsored
contributor, then I'll work with you as your reviewer to get python-xlrd and
python-errorhandler packaged as prereqs and sign on as co-maintainer.
