[Distutils] alternatives to zc.buildout?

[Chris Withers]

Hi All,

What are the alternatives to zc.buildout?

I'm wondering before I plough into zc.buildout because I'm guessing 
other big projects have run into the problem of pinning certain versions 
of eggs, building "instance homes" for projects, using a mixture of 
"public" eggs and those that are private and for a specific project, etc 
and otherwise working round limitations in setuptools...

cheers,

Chris
