I think that there might be interest in this as a way of creating a production environment for an application with minimal fuss and helping to distribute a project on win32 environments. However, for development types I'm not sure that it will get used too much IMHO. Anyone developing in TG should know roughly what they're doing when downloading eggs etc. The setup is already pretty easy (assuming there are no snags) with easy_install.
My opinion is that it will be underused and, unless you're going to be using it a lot yourself, would probably not be worth all the effort.
