[PEAK] Installation Issue

[Jay Parlar]

Funny, using the APS is the exact solution I used about an hour before
you sent this. Worked great too. I got it running, and set the
'http_proxy' environment variable. ez_setup.py then worked like a
charm (and the easy_install.py had the correct value at the top).

Thanks for the help!
