Automated setuptools installs fail if version other than 0.5 is specified

[anonymous]

It is folly to accept new versions of packages without testing them first. But a setuptools call, via easy_install, to install a specific, tested version of Genshi (0.4.4) fails with the message that an appropriate package could not be found.

Please be kind to the community and allow for specifying known versions.

Added links to the 0.4.4 releases back to the download page so that easy_install can find them. Thanks!
