  One thing that we can do right away to ease this is change create-node to
 stop putting the call to pkg_resources.require() in the tahoe-client.tac.

Comment:

 Will review.

 Note that {{{import pkg_resources}}} has side effects on {{{sys.path}}}
 even if {{{pkg_resources.require()}}} is not used; so, removing the import
 might have an additional effect. I can't immediately remember whether
 that's desirable or not; need to page this stuff back into my brain.
