The current tox trunk has an "--installpkg" option which allows to specify
a precise archive to be installed instead of tox performing the packaging step.

I am not sure if tox is the right place to parametrize/instrument the
packaging step itself.  Rather thinking of a different tool for that
(which nicely integrates with tox).
