Gary,

Thank you for providing tarballs for Physics. I looked at the tarballs,
and although it contains mostly Python source for Physics, it contains
several "binary blobs" in lib/, namely eggs for Elements and Box2D.
While this can be useful for .XO releases, when you're producing
binaries for specific platforms, it's a complication for packagers, who
(at least in Debian) have to repack the tarball to exclude such files.

In future releases, could you provide a source-only tarball, rather than
one with bundled eggs?
