[Distutils] [issue97] Windows installer causes different behavior

[David Hart]

New submission from David Hart <dbhart at sandia.gov>:

Using the windows .exe installer for setuptools0.6c11 causes an error that is
not present when using the .tar.gz and installing from source (python setup.py
install). easy_install.exe behaves differently between the two methods.

Using the .exe, you can no longer download the setuptools package (see attached)
- it finds it somewhere cached, and then tries to overwrite itself. Using the
.tar.gz build, it behaves correctly.
