if someDist in working_set:
    # a distribution w/same location/version/pyversion/etc.
    # is in there

Note that distribution objects are "value" objects in the sense that you 
can have dist1==dist2 be true, and dist1 is dist2 be false.  So, even if 
the 'dist' object came from a different source, the 'in' test will still 
return True if the dist refers to the same 
location/version/pyversion/platform/etc.

Yes.  For checkouts, use:
