What's stopping you from just putting the same checkout path in the 
develop line of your buildout.cfg? Works for me...

I wouldn't use this myself, while my different projects use the same 
packages, and it's handy be able to run from an svn checkout during 
development using the method I describe above, I never want to run code 
that's gone live that depends on an svn checkout of another package.
If there really isn't a suitable release, I cut a dev egg myself.

cheers,

Chris
