Hmm. I'll try building an egg from scratch, when I get access to a machine with internet access without a painful proxy. It's too much hassle right now to remember the magic incantations I need to make to get setuptools installed through our firewall (more a firewall problem than a setuptools one...) :-( It may be that the problem I recall was with easy_install's process for building an egg from a bdist_wininst, rather than with a proper egg build.
