wic: Rename /mic to /wic

As well as any other stray instances of mic in the codebase that can
be removed.

We don't really need to carry around legacy naming, and the history is
in git.

+Base classes for creating commands and syntax version object.
+
+This module exports several important base classes:
+
+    BaseData - The base abstract class for all data objects.  Data objects
+               are contained within a BaseHandler object.
+
+    BaseHandler - The base abstract class from which versioned kickstart
+                  handler are derived.  Subclasses of BaseHandler hold
+                  BaseData and KickstartCommand objects.
+
+    DeprecatedCommand - An abstract subclass of KickstartCommand that should
+                        be further subclassed by users of this module.  When
+                        a subclass is used, a warning message will be
+                        printed.
+
+    KickstartCommand - The base abstract class for all kickstart commands.
+                       Command objects are contained within a BaseHandler
+                       object.

+Methods for working with kickstart versions.
+
+This module defines several symbolic constants that specify kickstart syntax
+versions.  Each version corresponds roughly to one release of Red Hat Linux,
+Red Hat Enterprise Linux, or Fedora Core as these are where most syntax
+changes take place.
+
+This module also exports several functions:
+
+    makeVersion - Given a version number, return an instance of the
+                  matching handler class.
+
+    returnClassForVersion - Given a version number, return the matching
+                            handler class.  This does not return an
+                            instance of that class, however.
+
+    stringToVersion - Convert a string representation of a version number
+                      into the symbolic constant.
+
+    versionToString - Perform the reverse mapping.
+
+    versionFromFile - Read a kickstart file and determine the version of
+                      syntax it uses.  This requires the kickstart file to
+                      have a version= comment in it.

+"""An improvement on Python's standard cmd.py module.
+
+As with cmd.py, this module provides "a simple framework for writing
+line-oriented command intepreters."  This module provides a 'RawCmdln'
+class that fixes some design flaws in cmd.Cmd, making it more scalable
+and nicer to use for good 'cvs'- or 'svn'-style command line interfaces
+or simple shells.  And it provides a 'Cmdln' class that add
+optparse-based option processing. Basically you use it like this:
+
+    import cmdln
+
+    class MySVN(cmdln.Cmdln):
+        name = "svn"
+
+        @cmdln.alias('stat', 'st')
+        @cmdln.option('-v', '--verbose', action='store_true'
+                      help='print verbose information')
+        def do_status(self, subcmd, opts, *paths):
+            print "handle 'svn status' command"
+
+        #...
+
+    if __name__ == "__main__":
+        shell = MySVN()
+        retval = shell.main()
