I realize that I'll also need to add back --download-base to pass to ez_setup.use_setuptools.
Yup. Feel free to propose something simpler.
I opened issue #165.
I added a patch to issue 165 that I believe is complete, except for documentation and tests. I've been using it pretty extensively for a week or so, and it does just what I need. Before creating a pull request, I'd like to add some documentation. I can't find any tests of bootstrap.py, so I'm not sure what to do there. But before I spend more time on this, could someone (Jim?) pass judgment on the code patch? I don't want to spend much more time on this if it doesn't have a hope of getting accepted. I addressed a few issues in the checkin message at https://github.com/buildout/buildout/commit/e4f5809962fb3851f48dd6558a55dda0... . I'd like to make sure my decisions outlined there are acceptable, too. Thanks. Eric.
