I deleted the 1.7.2 release altogether, because it contained new features. 
That was really bad, because people would get new APIs but expect a bug fix 
release. If you remove the 1.7.2 release from your egg directory, it will now 
download 1.8.0, which is correct.

I believe easy_install has an update option. Yes, it does: "-U"
