The usage is pretty straightforward:
eggfreezer -o AllTurbogears2 -f

That command will try to satisfy all dependencies for TurboGears2 and
tg.devtools (fetching them from local packages if available), using that
url to find links, and bundle them into a file called
AllTurboGears2-${py_version}-${platform}.py.
As long as you are doing platforms, it might be nice to get them right.
Specifically the UCS2/UCS4 distinction, though there might be more
that I'm forgetting. (If there's actually platform-dependent files in
there, if not it'd be nice to leave out the platform entirely.)
I'm using pkg_resources.Distribution's 'platform' attribute to get this,
the algorithm basically iterates over all dependencies and as soon as
one has it set to not None it'll use that. If all are set to None then
no ${platform} is added to the filename. I'm assuming of course that all
distributions have the same string as platform, which I guess it isn't
not too far-fetched, but haven't really checked so I'm sure there's
something I might have overlooked.
BTW, does pkg_resources populate it properly with he UCS2/UCS4
distinction you mention?
No... which makes binary eggs unusable on Linux. I feel like there was
something else that made binary packages on a Mac unreliable, but I
can't remember. Windows binary eggs generally work fine. This is
discussed some here:

One nuisance is that people don't generally know how their Python was
built (UCS2 or UCS4). I was thinking about making something very
similar to eggfreezer (which I'm unlikely to do now that eggfreezer
exists ;), and generating an "install" .py file that determines the
platform and downloads the appropriate platform bundle.
