See the --editable and --build-directory arguments. Simple usage:
easy_install -eb. ProjectName
Will download projectname's source (or check it out of Subversion), and
unpack it to a directory called './projectname' (all lowercase). (The '.'
is actually whatever directory you give to the -b or --build-directory option.)

Not using fetch_distribution(), no. You would have to do the same steps
that fetch_distribution() does to find it.
