[Distutils] easy_install, find-links, etc

[Ian Bicking]

The whole find-links thing is getting confusing -- right now each system 
has to give its own set of find-links, and they aren't well inherited. 
So, for instance, if Paste has some custom packages on an index page, 
you can't just require Paste -- you have to require Paste plus put 
whatever find-links settings are needed.

What would be mightily useful is if you could at least advise -- from 
within a package -- on places to find some of the requirements for that 
package.  E.g., .egg-info/find_links.txt.  I think it is inevitable that 
packages will require custom builds, and we can't always push those 
changes into PyPI or track those changes in aggregate package indexes.
