Just like the counterparts in setuptools this only works if you pass it
a path that has a PKG-INFO or .egg-info directly in that folder. The
problem is, with many packages those are not in the root folder of the
package after doing a setup.py egg_info. Those packages normally use the
"package_dir" argument to their setup call in setup.py, but that's
information I can't get to, it's in the argument list for the setup call.
