Authentication against restricted repositories while bootstraping

Hi,

is there any interest in having an authentication while you are bootstrapping your project.
The authentication works for the find-links parameter in the buildout section and downstreamed for the eggs matched to index list in the restricted repository.

I developed a small piece of code which is doing such things.

The credentials are taken from a ~.pypirc file.

If an url is given to the open_with_auth method from package_index.py i am comparing the url to the repository urls which are in the repository sections of the pypirc file.

If credentials are found they are integrated in the open_with_auth authentication mechanism.

Greetings

Kai

Thanks in part to the pull request from Kai, the latest beta, available from setuptools downloads has support for loading the credentials from .pypirc. Please test and report any emergent issues in a new ticket.
