transitfeed installed as an egg can interfere with tests

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Even though test/testexamples.py sets PYTHONPATH='.' the examples may be
run with a different older version of transitfeed.py if it is installed on
the system in an egg. You can see the problem by editing an example script
to print sys.path. As a work-around I tried running the examples as
python -c'import
sys;sys.path.insert(0,".");exec("example/feedvalidator.py")' other args but
couldn't get the quoting to work in windows. cmd.exe is not my friend.

This doesn't reproduce in linux. Maybe a windows issue. More background at

I really didn't understand this problem. Things in PYTHONPATH are searched after
eggs. You can override modules from system-wide eggs by using a source egg or
modifying sys.path. See "Problem: Python search path - module order"

I've worked around whatever quoting issue I was having with cmd.exe last year 
and
will mail a fix for this issue.
