Seem to be bug(s) in buildout!

Two problems:

- I thought the buildout 1 bootstrap pinned zc.recipe.egg? Looks like it 
might, but with the incorrect 'zc.recipe.egg<2'.

As far as setuptools is concerned, 2.0.0a3<2. Stupid, but that's the way 
it is :-(

- If I'm reading the above, buildout is picking two different versions 
of the same distribution in one part, which is bad. Jim, what's going on 
here?

(if you want to play along, buildout is here, but remove the version pin 
in buildout.cfg, as that's what I put in to solve the issue:
git at github.com:Simplistix/checker.git)

cheers,

Chris
