Comment:

 oops, I opened #1575 as a dup. There are some more notes over there.

 For 1.9, I've decided to go with the "host binary eggs" fix, since the
 alternatives are even more gross. That means no code changes need to be
 made for this. The installability of tahoe-1.9 on systems that don't
 already have pycrypto available will depend upon volunteers providing us
 with eggs that we can host, or upon installers being willing to use the
 workaround of running tahoe's {{{python setup.py build}}} twice.

 So this is no longer a 1.9 blocker.
