Thanks for the tips.

The task requires monkey-patching a "decorated" distros_for_location, a
new version of parse_bdist_winexe (not monkey-patched) and a new
function parse_bdist_winexe.

I decided against subclassing PackageIndex, since this would require
much more code duplication. (Some of the required methods are quite
large and call distros_for_location at the and anyway.)

For the records I'll post the download link here, as soon as the modules
is published.
