Being in the role of the maintainer I'm always concerned about
continuous support for a certain mechanism. Since .egg files are
platform-specific the question arises:
Who is going to provide which builds for every new release?
On which platforms/distros?
With which OpenLDAP/SASL/OpenSSL libs?

Today especially the situation regarding Win32 builds is poor. A
*strong* commitment of volunteers is needed...

Ciao, Michael.
