[Distutils] executable egg & top-level __main__.py: SOLVED

[Daniel Holth]

Sorry. The forgettable py_modules parameter is one reason why distutils is
terrible and we should stop using it. No we don't have a general
replacement to recommend yet.

Just keep in mind that having a top-level __main__, if you install two such
packages, one __main__ will clobber the other.
