[Distutils] [buildout] is there a way to force re-install of a part?

My suspicion is that it's a djangorecipe issue (because I've run into
it myself).  I say this because I seem to recall that if I change the
installation dependencies, zc.recipe.egg:scripts will notice that and
regenerate the wrapper script.  djangorecipe definitely does not.  I
haven't dug into the recipe to see what they're doing differently (and
I haven't taken the time to actually confirm this so I could be
insane).
