I don't know. How do I translate 


with cghub-cloud-agent's setup.py being

setup(
    name="cghub-cloud-agent",
    version="1.0.dev1",
    install_requires=[
        'cghub-cloud-lib>=1.0.dev1',
        'cghub-python-lib>=1.4.dev1', ...
    ],
    dependency_links=[
    ],
)

into a use of --find-links?

--find-links assumes packaging.  if you don't package, it doesn't help you.
you're left putting all the vcs urls into a requirements file for your top-level app.
