About Eggs

This is probably a *really* stupid question but...
I have looked at all the documentation I have for 2.4.3
and all the docs I can download for 2.5 and I simply cannot
find anything, anywhere that documents what egg files are.

I have read posts referring to them and have been able to
deduce that they are some form of zip file for the distribution
of modules but beyond that I cannot find *any* docs for them
anywhere.

Where are they documented and how do I take advantage of them?
