lazr.delegates looks very cool, is a small package, and compliments
zope.interface well.  However, it seems to me that zope.interface stands on its
own without it and the two should remain separate.

Luckily in today's setuptools-enabled world, adding in a new dependency is
easy, so I don't see much reason to merge these two packages.
