I don't see any reason to convert a setuptools egg or a bdist_wininst .exe to a wheel. Why should this be done? The egg is something created from sources. Why not create the wheel from the sources? It is like SRPM (source RPMs). I never understood why they exist. Why not create the target from the sources?
