[Distutils] making easy_install install extras

Hi,

Is it possible to convince easy_install to grab extras specified in the 
"extras_require" arguments to setup()?  I know this probably isn't 
something that should be on by default (that's why they're "extras"), 
but it would be nice to do something like:

easy_install some_package --also-install-all-available-extras

If it's not currently possible, I'd like to submit this as a feature 
request.

Cheers!
Andrew
