Hello,

I had a small headache using Buildout this morning: I had a package which contained a C extension and which was developed in my buildout.cfg file. I wanted to see what was the gcc call used to build this extension, but using as much as -v as I could (I stopped at ten), I didn't see anything more.

So, I dig in the code, and there was a typo in easy_install.py, which is fixed in fix-verbose-develop.patch (this needs a test to be updated, BTW). The fix was trivial (replacing "==" with "="), but I think the way args is build is now better.

I propose also another patch (uniformize-args.patch), which refactors args construction using a list instead of a tuple, which looks smarter (why a tuple whereas it is updated several times?). This is not mandatory for the fix, feel free to integrate it or not.

Thanks. I'll apply this soon. :) Jim -- Jim Fulton
