Yes, but that's exactly the problem with the buildout
process.

The installation process right now with buildout is
not able to deal with anything which is not a egg and 
it's horrible if it comes to 3rd party python library
weher no eggs are available. At least on windows.

I think we should support recipe for (exe, msi) installers 
and other things like (zip) unzipper etc. Right now it's 
a nightmare to use buildout if it comes to e.g. pysqlite.
