You're right, I don't really need the egg format for what I'm doing.
However, setuptools + setup.py is a familiar idiom like make + Makefile
or ant + build.xml.

So add a bdist_zip target and have it output a .zip without egg-info
cruft instead of making people like me reinvent the wheel every !@#$ing
time. Even if the wheel is as simple as piping glob.glob into a zipfile
-- which it never is IRL.
