Methinks for better transition (low switching cost) it would be better do  
this (which is currently done only by bootstrapping.py) in bootstrap.py  
itself. At least that's what the users expect zc.buildout's bootstrap.py  
to do (to wit: install setuptools if not already installed).

PS: The traceback I earlier reported about to_reload is solved by running  
bootstrapping.py prior to running bootstrap.py
