Description: EggsPacker
        ==========
        
        What is it ?
        ------------
        
        EggsPacker allows you to put in a single directory a python egg and all
        its dependencies as long as it is able to find them in a python index.
        
        It is almost equivalent as running
        "easy_install -zmaxd basket somepackage", with 2 important differences :
        
        1.   The python version and target platform can be changed from the
             system ones. This allow to prepare all the necessary eggs for a
             py2.5 win32 distribution on a py2.7 linux (for example).
        
        2.   EggsPacker will only work with eggs, no sources. So it
             requires an index that have all the dependencies available as eggs for
             the correct target platform / python version.
        
        Disclaimer
        ----------
        
        The implementation rely as much as possible on pkg_resources to resolve
        the requirements and read the metadata, so there should be no wrong
        version packed although I of course give no warranty of any kind.
        
        Reading the package index on the other hand was tested only on a an index
        builded by http://pypi.python.org/pypi/basketweaver/, so expect issues 
        if hitting directly the pypi index.
        
        Usage
        -----
        
        ::
        
            Usage: packeggs [options] pkgname [pkgname [pkgname...]]
        
            Options:
              -h, --help            show this help message and exit
              -i INDEX, --index=INDEX
                                    A Pypi compatible index URL. Default to pypi
              -t TARGETDIR, --targetdir=TARGETDIR
                                    Target directory. Default: "basket".
              --python-version=PYTHON_VERSION
                                    Target python version.
              --platform=PLATFORM   Target platform
              --unzip=UNZIP         Unzip the asked egg if present in the dependencies.
                                    The special value "auto" will guess what to do with
                                    with not-zip-safe flag, and "all" will force unzipping
                                    of all the eggs. Can be specified several times.
        
        Example
        -------
        
        The following command will get into the 'basket' directory the
        ANicePackage-0.1-py2.5 egg and all its dependencies for the win32 platform,
        while unzipping the eggs not marked as zip-safe plus forcely unzipping
        ANicePackage::
        
            packeggs -i http://yourserver/your/package/index --python-version 2.5 --platform win32 --targetdir basket ANicePackage==0.1 --unzip auto --unzip ANicePackage
