Write a variation on the standard bootstrap script that first builds  
Python.  It could do so directly, or run run buildout to do it. Then,  
after building Python, redo the bootstrap using this new Python. You  
could do this by invoking the buildout with the new Python:

   path_to_new_python bin/buildout bootstrap
