This may be moot due to what John H. has done, but I thought all you 
need to do to stop setuptools from going and grabbing the source is to 
re-name the egg -- couldn't we just put the same egg up on the website 
with different names for different OS versions?

for instance, I renamed:
matplotlib-0.98.3-py2.5-macosx-10.3.egg

to:
matplotlib-0.98.3-py2.5.egg

and easy_install installed it without a hitch on 10.4

Indeed, that name may work for 10.5 too.
