I am interested in adding some metadata in the installers generated by

work, but I am wondering whether there is a better way of doing it,

Why not use a file that gets installed in the system?
Because I don't want the file installed. I am interested in doing this
for arbitrary packages (the goal is to add support for egg<-> windows
installer conversion in my packaging solution)
Ah. I would then add a prefix META to the scheme, and modify
bdist_wininst to skip all files with that prefix.
