With entrypoints this would be fine and seamless (except for the extra
download).  I believe this is a good thing, because there could be extra
releases of FastData and it can be tested independently from TG's changes.

I like the idea.  It could also be used as an example of how to write a
"plugin" with TurboGears.  This might incentivate people to contribute their
"home made" solution and would also show a nice way to integrade "extensions"
into our code.
