Bug Description

the bug
---------
I define entry-points for the egg I'm developing in setup.py. Take this example:

When I run zc.recipe.egg or z3c.recipe.scripts without an eggs option, nothing happens.

When I add the options "egg = myegg", an old version of myegg is installed in eggs/ and the old entry-points are used.

workaround
--------------
Adding an explicit entry-points setting works, but I need to duplicate setup.py. I wish this was documented, as it's not clear how the develop and eggs options interact.

suggested fix
----------------
Add a "develop-egg" setting which works like "develop", but runs "setup.py develop" and reads "*.egg_info" directories to find entry points.
