Made ``easy-install.pth`` work in platform-specific alternate site
directories (e.g. ``~/Library/Python/2.x/site-packages``).
+ * If you manually delete the current version of a package, the next run of
+ EasyInstall against the target directory will now remove the stray entry
+ from the ``easy-install.pth``file.
+
+ * EasyInstall now recognizes URLs with a ``#egg=project_name`` fragment ID
+ as pointing to the named project's source checkout. Such URLs have a lower
+ match precedence than any other kind of distribution, so they'll only be
+ used if they have a higher version number than any other available
+ distribution. (Future versions may allow you to specify that you want to
+ use source checkouts instead of other kinds of distributions.) The ``#egg``
+ fragment can contain a version if it's formatted as ``#egg=proj-ver``,
+ where ``proj`` is the project name, and ``ver`` is the version number. You
+ *must* use the format for these values that the ``bdist_egg`` command uses;
+ i.e., all non-alphanumeric runs must be condensed to single underscore
+ characters.

* Fix ``python -m easy_install`` not working due to setuptools being installed
as a zipfile. Update safety scanner to check for modules that might be used
