Hm. I could've sworn I already fixed this issue, at least if it's what I
think. Subversion on some Windows setups ends up making files read-only
and not deletable by easy_install, so when it goes to clean up the
temporary directory with the checkout in it, it fails. I thought I'd
already worked around this, though. Are you using the latest setuptools
(0.6a10)?
