I've added an entry to the "tips" section of the documentation (in my local
copy, not checked in anywhere yet):
Password-Protected Sites
------------------------
If a site you want to download from is password-protected using HTTP
"Basic" authentication, you can specify your credentials in the URL, like so::
http://some_userid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/some_path/
You can do this with both index page URLs and direct download URLs. As
long as any HTML pages read by easy_install use *relative* links to point
to the downloads, the same user ID and password will be used to do the
downloading.
