No.  The platform name is only included if the distribution has
extension modules, because extension modules are what make the egg
platform-specific.  If there is only Python code and data, then the
egg is considered platform independent.

What do you want to work around this *for*?  If the egg doesn't
contain extension modules, what is platform-specific about it?
