I've upgraded to 0.6a1 on one machine, and am now getting the  
following error for a fresh checkout of my project [1]:

   $ ./setup.py build

Previously I've been using 0.5a13. The project includes ez_setup as  
svn:external.
Is this a problem in (or incompatibility with) ez_setup?

Thanks,
Chris
