Examples:

http://source.schooltool.org/viewcvs/trunk/st-buildout/?rev=7260#dirlist
- uses a shell script that builds python using buildout, and then
builds the product using the new python

http://source.schooltool.org/viewcvs/trunk/st-buildout/ - uses a
patched bootstrap.py that builds virtual python and uses the virtual
python to bootstrap buildout

hope that helps
