Oh fiddle sticks. this is because './' is not equal to os.curdir on
*any* system.

line 103: egg_info.py does the right thing: if self.egg_base !=
os.curdir. This mirrors exactly how distutils.filelist.findall does
the same gaurd on files in the current directory.

Observing that:
os.path.join('.' + os.sep, '') == os.path.join(os.curdir, '') and
os.path.join('.', '') == os.path.join(os.curdir, '')

how about this patch::
