[Distutils] zc.buildout bootstrap errors

Why would a "bootstrap" fail due to missing / less-than-required version
of setuptools in the host python?  The bootstrap should be
self-contained enough to make things work no matter what, since the
point is too build an environment which doesn't rely on anything beyond
a "bare" Python install.

 $ svn co $ZSVN/Acquisition/trunk Aq-trunk
 ...
 $ cd Aq-trun
 $ /path/to/python2.6 bootstrap/bootstrap.py
 The required version of setuptools (>=0.6c11) is not available, and
 can't be installed while this script is running. Please install
  a more recent version first, using 'easy_install -U setuptools'.
