[issue142] easy_install ignores 'headers' passed to setup()
New submission from Tres Seaver tseaver@palladion.com:
A bare distutils install of a package with 'headers' passed to 'setup()' dispatches to 'install_headers', which copies the exported header files into the system include path.
'easy_install' bypasses the distutils 'install()' when doing a normal egg install, and does not re-implement the 'install_headers' dance.
Furthermore, the 'bdist_egg' it creates, even though it contains the header files, has no metadata which would allow the installer to discover that they should be copied.

Note that distribute has the same bug, which I reported here:
