+Multiple Python Versions
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+As of version 0.6a11, EasyInstall installs itself under two names:
+``easy_install`` and ``easy_install-N.N``, where ``N.N`` is the Python version
+used to install it. Thus, if you install EasyInstall for both Python 2.3 and
+2.4, you can use the ``easy_install-2.3`` or ``easy_install-2.4`` scripts to
+install packages for Python 2.3 or 2.4, respectively.

making EasyInstall seamlessly co-operate with system package managers.
