[Distutils] Why isn't a link given higher precedence than an egg

[Jim Fulton]

In an egg directory, I have:

   zc.buildout-0.1-py2.3.egg
   zc.buildout.egg-link

and the version the link is pointing to is 0.1.

If en environment is asked to pick the best match, it picks
zc.buildout-0.1-py2.3.egg.  Given that a link is the result of
"setup.py develop", I would expect it to get preference bacause it
reflects current developemnt.
