[Distutils] How to prevent some .egg-info files being "touched" during a build/install process

[Venkat Bommakanti]

Thanks, Matt & Philip.

I'll get them out of source control - since those 
files were deployed in the installed egg, I thought 
they were needed to be under source control.

Just like one can specify temp build & dist dirs to
be used in the build/install process, is it possible
to have setuptools place these files in a user-defined
dir... that'd make it easy to implement the 
"make clean" equivalent to ensure these files don't
show up as being "privtate" files in one's tree.

Thanks,
