I have committed it. I tested it in the interpreter and with compiled code,
but only the small example from the documentation. Please give it
a try and tell me whether it works.

I have removed the documentation property from the installation
command (and have done so for all eggs I ported), as I'd like to
remove that feature. There should IMHO be only one place for
the docs (the wiki) and I intend to simplify the whole setup stuff
heavily (while keeping backwards compatibility for .setup scripts).


cheers,
