The change I'll be committing soon to fix bug 6713 (plugins can't live 
in CHANDLERBIN) has quite a few changes that deal with where parcel 
eggs are installed and handled.

Basically all of the chandler/projects/ parcels, the Chandler locale 
plugin and setuptools itself are now being installed in CHANDLERHOME 
instead of CHANDLERBIN.

This means you will be seeing *.pth and *.egg-link files and/or 
directories in CHANDLERHOME.

This doesn't change how Chandler runs since CHANDLERHOME is in 
PYTHONPATH but just how messy the CHANDLERHOME directory will look :)

The change has been tested to make sure the following situations are 
handled:

	CHANDLERHOME CHANDLERBIN not set
	CHANDLERHOME set CHANDLERBIN not set
	CHANDLERHOME not set CHANDLERBIN set
	CHANDLERHOME CHANDLERBIN set to different locations
	CHANDLERHOME CHANDLERBIN set to the same location

thanks Andi, Bryan S. and Dan for the patience in testing!

Just wanted to give a heads up before I land the change.
