This is incorrect; to "process" a URL does not mean to retrieve it,
unless it is marked as a home page or download URL.  Only the
following URLs will be retrieved (at least by easy_install) in an
attempt to locate PIL versions, based on the current contents of the
/simple index:

http://effbot.org/zone/pil-changes-115.htm
http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/
http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil
http://effbot.org/downloads/#Imaging

All of the other URLs you listed are simply URLs *present* on one of
those four pages, and are not downloaded or parsed for more HTML.
