ok so far, from the whole dicussion it seems that everyone agrees that

in the .egg-info files, so I'll update the PEP for this point.
I'll also start to write more details about uninstallation
As P.J.Eby pointed out the importance of PEP 262,
I pointed out the importance its *requirements* and *criteria* --
not its implementation. There's a big difference.
could all the egg-info directories be also
put into a subdirectory called "install-db" as described in that
PEP. As proposed by P.J.Eby
in PEP262 under "open issues", there could/should be one of these
for each directory
where packages are installed.
So to repeat the initial example for zlib, it should look like this:
zlib/
install_db/
zlib-2.5.2.egg-info/
PKG-INFO
MANIFEST
RECORD
The name of the "install_db" directory would not be that important,
e.g. it could e.g. be called "egg-info" and
the ".egg-info" extension from the zlib egg-info directory name
could be stripped, making the parsing of the listdir() call
even faster 8-)
I'm -1 on this, as it breaks backward compatibility with setuptools.
