Yeah, the problem is that I remember the underlying code that 
buildout-versions has to monkeypatch isn't the nicest.

A cleaner collection of specs for packages to pick from (ie: the 
versions section) and those that have been picked (ie: what 
buildout-versions records) would be of great help.

cheers,
