However, this "ez_setup" has been mentioned elsewhere in other python 
installation failures.

Until just now I was unaware that this project had a stable code base.  I 
didn't realize I wasn't using the stable release.  Still, the installation 
failure should probably point out a glitch to the beta testers.  Thanks for a 
great add-on module!
