I'm very interested in having a look at this patch. :-)

Why do you see the need of rewriting some bits of those eggs? I don't  
know if I really understand the problem. Maybe setting the  
environment variable PYTHON_EGG_CACHE helps. Or  
pkg_resources.set_extraction_path(path) as described here http:// 
peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/PkgResources#resource-extraction

Cheers,
