Well they don't as it is, they are instructed by the installation instructions
to run
python setup.py install

:)

But after going through the installation process on another computer yesterday,
I have to say it was a bit annoying. And I already knew how to do it, there's
just a lot to do. Anything we can do to eliminate some of the steps...

Doesn't sound entirely necessary to zip that, but OK :)
