Interestingly, I *am* able to reproduce your problem, but only with your 
packages, though I honestly haven't tried many others.  Anyway, I'll work 
on getting a variant of your patch into 0.6a8.

Hm.  The '==dev' part is the problem.  Doing a bit of research, I see that 
easy_install doesn't process dependencies for a package when its name and 
version don't match what's requested on the command line.  I've 
unfortunately forgotten *why* it does this, though.  The workaround for the 
moment is to request 'mechanize>=dev' or just 'mechanize', both of which 
will match any 'mechanize' version.  Then the dependencies get processed.

I'll have to look into it some more to see if I can figure out why I did 
what I did; I think it may actually not be necessary any more to have that 
restriction, if in fact it ever was.
