So the code to pull the metadata works like this:

if lower.endswith('.egg') or \
    lower.endswith('.egg-info') or \
    lower.endswith('.egg-link') or \
    lower.endswith('.dist-info'):
from pkg_resources import Distribution, FileMetadata, PathMetadata
dist_name = basename(f)
if isdir(f):
    path_item = dirname(f)
    metadata = PathMetadata(path_item, f)
else:
    path_item = f
    metadata = FileMetadata(f)
dist = Distribution.from_location(path_item, dist_name, metadata)

And then for pulling the name for Provides, it uses dist.key and
Requires is iterating over dist.requires() to get the desired info.

Do I need to actually check the path and force it to use one
particular class over the other?
