Okay, thanks a lot for this research. So this is a problem that noone could 
anticipate. Roger tried the eggs on his machine and they worked there.

So that's something we learned: We have to make tag.gz releases.

BTW, which OS so you use? Roger told me he did several releases with Windows 
at Lovely Systems and all was fine there. But then everyone else at Lovely 
has Macs.

I will review all the released eggs with Roger.
