"easy_install -eb tmpdir requirement" will download and unpack source
(or check out from svn:) to tmpdir/projectname (with projectname in
all-lowercase).
Unfortunately this does not install from source.
"easy_install -eb tmpdir requirement && easy_install 
tmpdir/projectnameinalllowercase" will, though.  (As will 
"easy_install -eb tmpdir requirement && cd tmpdir/projectnamelower && 
python setup.py install", though this latter choice may or may not do 
an egg-based install.)
