Hmm... Since eggs are a relatively new distribution mechanism, it
doesn't make sense for basket (or whatever it evolves into) to waste
effort on supporting old crap that's going away sooner or later.

But I'm not sure I understand you. 
Are you saying that in order to use Basket, my product can't call
registerHelp()?

Or are you saying that when installed via Basket, registerHelp()
does nothing?  That's fine.
