I think it's a better idea to build mpkgs of dateutil and pytz, and put
those up on pythonmac also. MPL is a library, not a complete, stand
alone system, it's OK for it to have dependencies, as long as there is
an easy way to find and install them.

eggs do have their advantages. I'd still like to see some (even very
minimal) GUI way to install eggs, but until then, it's not that big deal
to install them from the command line.
We could certainly put binary eggs up on pythonmac too.
