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)?
