Title: Read first line from file as link path

In some cases, (e.g. cherrypy and pyaml) when installed from github, results in a egg-link file that has two paths:

/home/kyle/env/src/yaml/lib
../

Although asking why the above malformed egg-link occurs is something I am still investigating, I think it should be considered whether using readline is better than read, given that file paths can't contain new lines anyway.
