OK, logs are now served as HTML pages. Easy_installability page links
directly to certain parts of log files.

I have a question concerning some of the failing packages. As an
example let's take DisplayShelf 1.0. Cheesecake fails to install it,
because in its setup.py it imports "turbogears.finddata", which isn't
installed on pybots.org. Log file for DisplayShelf is here:
http://pypi.pycheesecake.org/pypi/log/171-DisplayShelf==1.0-success-5.log#install
. Package has defined "TurboGears" in "install_requires", but is using
import that will only be working if TurboGears is already there. In
fact, whole setup.py is unusable, because it simply fails to run on
systems without TurboGears. Where is the problem and how it can be
solved?
