Yes, I can. I'm at school now, so that will have to wait until tomorrow.

Ok. Tomorrow then.

Our build system for the plone installer wasn't ready for eggs. I just
did the simplest thing that could work. It could probably be smarter
than that.

Pure shame. :) And also, we are moving to buildout so there's no
reason to make all them public at the moment. I can move the .cfg
files that list the eggs, control version and install scripts, etc
into the plone repository if there's interest. They used to be there
but after about 3 years unchanged I decided nobody cared enough.
