format.  Running ``bdist_wininst`` on a setuptools-based package wraps the
egg in an .exe that will safely install it as an egg (i.e., with metadata
and entry-point wrapper scripts), and ``easy_install`` can turn the .exe
back into an ``.egg`` file or directory and install it as such.

At this point, it should also be possible to "system package" any egg,
complete with wrapper scripts, and at least bdist_wininst works now.
More testing is needed for at least bdist_dumb and bdist_rpm.

command so that you can more easily wrap a "flat" egg in a system package.
Enhanced ``bdist_rpm`` so that it installs single-version eggs that
don't rely on a ``.pth`` file.  The ``--no-egg`` option has been removed,
since all RPMs are now built in a more backwards-compatible format.

Some work is now needed for easy_install to recognize bdist_wininst
.exe's that wrap these new flat eggs, as currently the .egg-info will
not be recognized.

that ``0.2-rc1`` is considered an *older* version than ``0.2``, and is equal

seem to want to use ``-rc`` version numbers a lot.

``.egg-info/PKG-INFO`` under revision control and put the project's source
code directly in the project directory.  If such a package had any
requirements that get processed before the ``egg_info`` command can be run,
the setup scripts would fail with a "Missing 'Version:' header and/or
PKG-INFO file" error, because the egg runtime interpreted the unbuilt
metadata in a directory on ``sys.path`` (i.e. the current directory) as
being a corrupted egg.  Setuptools now monkeypatches the distribution
metadata cache to pretend that the egg has valid version information, until
it has a chance to make it actually be so (via the ``egg_info`` command).
