I don't have time to respond to all of this now, but have you looked at 
working-env.py?  http://blog.ianbicking.org/working-env.html

You activate it by putting the working environment on your $PYTHONPATH, 
and then easy_install should automatically install in that environment 
and there is a custom distutils.cfg local to that environment.  It's 
like virtual-python.py, except a bit lighter.
