As far as I understand it, an egg file is just a zipimport format zip 
file with some additional metadata. You can also install the egg 
files in an unpacked way, if you prefer that. I don't understand the 
objection here - it's no better or worse than countless packages in 
site-packages, and if it gives us multiple versions of the same code, 
all the better.
