Looks like entrypoints packages just finds the entry_points (though I
still grok what it is useful for). python-fastentrypoints speeds up
the script start process.

@Serhii are there any Python packages at PyPI that are using this
package? I'd like to see them in order to undestand how this package
should be used and whether we need the host-, target- or both
vairants.

Cheers,
Yegor
