It is when an egg is being built, since anything not installed to the 
temporary directory where the egg is being built will not get included in 
the egg.

Don't use easy_install or build an egg.  Eggs must be self-contained, and 
easy_install builds eggs before installing them.  That's a feature of eggs 
-- i.e., they don't put files all over your system.
