I'd like to extend a running application in a way that plays nicely
with both the component architecture and setuptools. The extensions
are typically released as eggs and can either be uploaded or pulled
automatically from the application itself.

As I understand it, entry points can be used to define setup and
tear-down procedures for a package among other things.

So it's about deployment and not about development. This can be
thought of as a TTW-supplement to buildout, where the entry points
would be used to run configuration slugs.

Yeah I guess that was a buzz-word, but I'm serious. I'd like to spawn
a vudo-instance and not have to visit the filesystem to extend it.
