Yeah, it's sorta weird because it's such a grab bag of semi-independent
tools, it's hard to imagine anyone using all of them except for us (and
even we don't use all of them, hah).  I'd rather not have some
equivalent of py.lib, where you get a whole bunch of stuff that you're
not sure you really want just to get greenlet.  This might be just a
personal prejudice of mine, though, so feel free to set me straight if
the py.lib model actually rocks.

Could we make an egg for each file, or something like that?  Seems like
it'd be the most fine-grained way to do it.
