We've got a couple of priviate indexes for TG2, and were using them
pretty extensively to make sure that there's a known good install with
our current component set, but the number of components and the system
creating indexes and installing from them makes this more complicated
and frustrating than anybody likes.

But until all the kinks are worked out of some alternative system
(like pip) we're stuck with it.   So, here's a couple of proposed
changes:

1) I'll be creating a new development index at:

http://turbogears.org/2.0/downloads/dev/index/

This index will be built from whatever eggs are checked into the
repository here:

http://svn.turbogears.org/site_resources/tg2_index/current/

I'll also set both tg.devtools and the main turbogears2 eggs to use
this index by default in setup.cfg.  If we keep everything up to date
this should make setup.py develop work on both turbogears2, and
tg.devtools.

We will have to remember to change that default when we do a release,
so that releases install from their own stable index, but if those
indexes are tested and kept stable that should not present any
difficulty.

Ultimately, I'm interested in using pip, but windows users will never
like pip because it requires a compiler, and they likely won't have
one.   But ultimately I think it would be awesome to use Sanjiv's all
in one windows installer for windows users, possibly including mingw
so that they can compiler just like the rest of us.
