Reorganize bdist_egg's handling of 'install_data' to better deal with the
various kludges legacy packages are using to install data in their package
directories. Some use absolute paths in 'distribution.data_files', while
others create various subclasses of 'install_data', each with their own
way of finding out what directory to use! So 'bdist_egg' now does all its
'install_lib' activity before 'install_data', and pokes the desired build
directory into a wide variety of places, so that all of the known kludges
so far will work correctly. It also checks for absolute paths in
'data_files' (carefully working around other packages' 'data_files'
kludges!) and converts them back to relative ones, if they are subpaths of
site-packages.
Clearly, we need to get the word out about 'package_files' in Python 2.4
and above, and suggest using 'setuptools' for Python 2.3.
