OK, I figured this out.  The on-line docs 
(http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/reference/pip_wheel.html) say 
you can give --find-links a path, but it looks like it insists on it 
being a valid URL.  If I prepend "file:" to the absolute path, it works.

Maybe this is something which has changed in newer versions of pip?  
I've got 1.1 (and python 2.7.3).  I'm pretty sure both of these are what 
came with Ubuntu Precise.
