To be honest, the explicit'ness of an external egg install process irks
me but I cannot really give a reason why (perhaps its just because I'm
used to having Zope2 products "just work").

Also, with having to "install" eggs, how would this work with eggs that
are actually directories (that are formed like egg zip files) and
dealing with eggs from a development standpoint.  Does this mean they
would get copied some place?  Or just that something would be registered
into the zodb registering those eggs, etc...
