[Distutils] Limitations install_requires?

[Joshua Boverhof]

I've had problems getting it to install these packages (python2.5,  
setuptools 0.6c3):

packages with extensions fail:
	4Suite --
	Twisted -- already declared problem in the PackageNotes

Second, if the file name of a distribution doesn't match the  
"package" name once installed setuptools fails to recognize it as  
installed.

	ZopeInterface --> zope.interface
	-- appears to build and install, but fails when setuptools tries to  
import it as "ZopeInterface"

Or if the package installs as a sub-package of an existing package:

	TwistedWeb --> twisted.web
	-- again fails when it tries to import "TwistedWeb"


I think the first two are currently impossible, but potentially I  
missed something with the second two?
