[Distutils] buildout: referencing sub-project with bad directory form

So, I discovered a way of doing this - I moved the 'pywbem' directory into my
project's 'src' directory:

c:\...\my-project>tree /A
…
\---src
    +---myproject
    +---my_project.egg-info
    \---pywbem
        +---irecv
        \---testsuite
            \---testmofs

then changed my buildout.cfg file from:

    [buildout]
        devel = . pywbem

to:

    [buildout]
        devel = . src/pywbem

This works, of course, because my 'src' directory is one of the items that
buildout adds to sys.path, so pywbem is naturally found there. Naturally,
'src/pywbem' is also added to the sys.path, but that addition has no effect
in this case.

I consider this a hack. If anyone has better ideas, I'd love to hear them...

Thanks,
John
