Yeah so even a 'cleaned up' mirror will not do the trick.  For pip and
easy_install, we need a lower-level barrier to avoid hitting the net

Well, if links are removed from the indexes, then the crawler will not try to follow the links, which sounds enough, isn't it? In which cases would an installer hit the external links if it doesn't have a way to discover them?

Additionally, distutils2 do have a "follow_links" options that can be set to False (I'm even wondering if thats not the default option)
