Indeed - a limitation here however is that pip will not install from this
source unless explicitly asked to, so you couldn't use this package as a
requirement for another one, for example -- but it works as a testing step.
but that's the rough outline of where I am headed and what I think needs to
be done to get there. It's just taking me a while to get everything put in
order exactly the right way to be able to flip the switch. Hopefully soon,
though.

I realized when re-reading my mails last night that I said I wouldn't be
able to do it until "next release" but what I really meant was "until the
next development window".
