[Distutils] HTTP auth in svn repositories

[Ben Bangert]

A svn repository I was attempting to install from has a public login/ 
group, so I tried entering the egg link like so:
http://guest:guest@svn.myghty.org/myghty/branches/ 
99a_exception_save#egg....

However the parsing setuptools did resulted in the following error:
httplib.InvalidURL: nonnumeric port: 'guest at svn.myghty.org'

I thought using that http format was fairly standard for putting http  
basic auth, shouldn't setuptools honor it?

Thanks,
Ben
