Blast, foiled again!  Oh well, moving bdist_egg.py into 
distutils/command works (at least for 2.3).  Since the whole point is to 
keep other people from having to run setup.py (by just distributing the 
eggs), that's not too big a deal.

I guess this is the classic problem where standard library enhancements 
are more distracting than useful when you can't rely on a specific 
version of Python.
