I've implemented "universal" installer support in latest release, 0.1.4.
The support is limited however by setuptools limitation of not
distinguish between different builds (UCS2 vs UCS4 on linux, fink vs mac
ports, etc.. on macosx, etc) though this might be fixed in the future if
someone more knowledgeable than me on this issues wants to lend a hand :)

A sample universal installer for TurboGears2 which supports linux-i686,
win32 and macosx-10.3-i386 (with the mentioned limitiations) is here:

P.S: This cross-post replies are getting out of control. Since I'm the
one who began all this madness by cross-posting the announcement, I
should be one trying to stop it: Lets continue this thread in
distutils-sig please, sorry about this.
