If you're the person doing the installing, then of course you can 
manually specify a URL, or use "easy_install googlecl==0.9.11" to 
force the right file to be selected.

However, if you're the package author and want to fix it for 
everybody, you can either rename the non-applicable file, or remove 
the Home Page link from the PyPI pages that it's on.  (You'd have to 
remove it from every version you've ever published on PyPI, though, 
even if it's an inactive one.)
