hi, some time ago lines like these, where added to both tgdev and tg2

[easy_install]
index_url = http://turbogears.org/2.0/downloads/current/index

I think this is harmful as it's misleading and confusing, because the
behavior of easy_install will be different depending on the folder you
are in.

I have been bitten (and seen other people too) by this several times.

For example if you have setuptools .8 and svn 1.5

$ python setup.py develop

will break, since most of us now know setuptools .9 is the only one
that works ok with svn 1.5 we'll write

$ easy_installl -U setuptools

and that fixes the problem, but it doesn't for TG as
http://turbogears.org/2.0/downloads/current/index/setuptools/ doesn't
have the .9 egg.

another example of this is that there is no way to run an upgraded
version of a library since "current" is supposed to be >trunk so the
only reasonable way to run trunk with newer (not in the index)
dependencies will be going outside the directory or deleting the 2
offending lines.

So bottom line I think they should be deleted as they cause too much
magic, easy_install is supposed to go to pypi that is how everyone
understands it.
