I'll let Paul answer this. It's his project.

Eggs are supposed to "just work". You package up your module, and
users can install it with a single command. I agree that they are not
the most intuitive approach, but at least people are working on
improving how they work even more.

I would recommend deleting the eggs, and installing the Subversion
folders in site-packages. The two methods don't work together; use
one or the other.
I've been trying to keep the Wiki (http://dabodev.com/wiki/
InstallationOnWindows) updated with the latest information for people
installing Dabo; have you looked at it at all? Was it helpful?
Anything you found that was incorrect or out-of-date?
