Ok, I got something working based on that info. Thanks! It is in the
zc.buildout/branches/reinout-scripts branch.  Just run bin/buildout and the
presence of bin/pyflakes, bin/rst2s5.py and friends demonstrates that it
works.


I'm not sure how robust it is, though.  My main worry is that it probably only
works OK with unzipped eggs.  "dist.location" is the egg's location:

    scripts_dir = os.path.join(dist.location, 'EGG-INFO', 'scripts')
    if os.path.exists(scripts_dir):
        for name in os.listdir(scripts_dir):
            distutils_scripts.append(
                (name, os.path.join(scripts_dir, name)))

Ugh.  Seriously not kosher.  Use this instead:

    if dist.metadata_isdir('scripts'):
        for name in dist.metadata_listdir('scripts'):
            script_text = dist.get_metadata('scripts/'+name)
            # write the text to a file and do whatever else you want
