I've got 8 of these directories in my local package directory; some end with
%2f (/) and some don't. 

I zipped all this up, unzipped it on a new computer, and pointed setup to the
unzipped copy, but setup hardly installed any of the packages, even though I
can see all the the packages' tar.bz2 files there.

I don't think the setup.ini files are getting merged correctly.

Is there some way I can re-create one big setup.ini file from my current
computer, and just have setup use that on the new computer ?
