The pkg_resources module in setuptools or distribute reads those files.

In 3.3, packaging.database reads them too (it’s an implementation of PEP 376 with b/w compat with egg-info).  It may work just fine in 3.x (it uses text I/O), but when we backport packaging to distutils2 for 2.4+, we’ll probably run into the problem again.
