The workaround I'm using is to create a virtualenv with the system 
python and then use the virtualenv's bin/python to run the bootstrap.

This works fine, but it's a bit sad that this is now needed because, I 
suspect, of the changes which were designed to avoid the need to wrap a 
buildout in a virtualenv in order to exclude stuff in site-packages.

Can anyone else verify my findings? Where should I submit a bug report?

cheers,

Chris
