Aha. That is handy.

Given how easy eggs are to work with, I'm certain that I'll be able to
get them working with the existing py2app/py2exe, even if the process
is a bit more manual. It seems like I just need to be sure that
pkg_resources makes it in to the app, and that the eggs all end up in
one of the spots that are naturally added to sys.path by the
py2app/py2exe runtimes.

Thanks for the tips!

Kevin
