Multiple Python Versions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As of version 0.6a11, EasyInstall installs itself under two names:
``easy_install`` and ``easy_install-N.N``, where ``N.N`` is the Python version
used to install it. Thus, if you install EasyInstall for both Python 2.3 and
2.4, you can use the ``easy_install-2.3`` or ``easy_install-2.4`` scripts to
install packages for Python 2.3 or 2.4, respectively.

* Added ``easy_install-N.N`` script(s) for convenience when using multiple
Python versions.
* Added automatic handling of installation conflicts. Eggs are now shifted to
the front of sys.path, in an order consistent with where they came from,
making EasyInstall seamlessly co-operate with system package managers.
