as people using 2.0 are not forced to upgrade, I think it is perfectly okay
to just use the normal method. I think, that all these issues with different
versions of python libraries can only be dealt with sucessfully, when more
people are using easy_install from Phillip J. Eby. And if this is the case,
I think these issues are resolved easily.

Best regards,
Oliver
