After install you will see it creates three separate folders:
C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\spyder
C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\spyderlib
C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\spyderplugins

This structure pretty much forces development to be done away from the
normal spyder paths.

It just seems like it would be cleaner if it were all located under
C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\spyder

Putting all the files in the one directory could have the side effect
of letting development be done in the folder under site-packages
instead of somewhere else.

I do know that you can bootstrap spyder from the development
directory.  I don't, however, know how to specify an ini.  It doesn't
seem to use the default %USERPROFILE%/.spyder2/.spyder.ini file.  Is
that by design or coincidence?  I dropped a spyder.ini into my devel
directory but spyder seemed to ignore it.
