Support full roundtrip translation of eggs to and from ``bdist_wininst``
format. Running ``bdist_wininst`` on a setuptools-based package wraps the
egg in an .exe that will safely install it as an egg (i.e., with metadata
and entry-point wrapper scripts), and ``easy_install`` can turn the .exe
back into an ``.egg`` file or directory and install it as such.
At this point, it should also be possible to "system package" any egg,
complete with wrapper scripts, and at least bdist_wininst works now.
More testing is needed for at least bdist_dumb and bdist_rpm.
