Hm. I tried it and it was remarkably painless to just get a list of the zipped
egg's contents.  So I got it working with zipped eggs, too :-)

There's one thing I couldn't find out: does the zipfile module report
filenames as slashes or does it use the OS's preference?  /me has no windows
around to test it on.  So there might be an OS inconsistency there.  Running
the tests on windows will uncover that, of course.
