~80 zope.* test builds are currently failing, for mysterious reasons due
to setuptools 8.0.x not interacting well with zc.buildout:

Here's a summary of the various errors:
https://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope-dev/2014-December/046508.html
Newer builds also added a bunch of warnings of the form
/var/lib/jenkins/jobs/zopetoolkit_trunk/workspace/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources.py:2425:
RuntimeWarning: 'zc.recipe.testrunner-1.0.5 ()' is being parsed as a
legacy, non PEP 440, version. You may find odd behavior and sort order.
In particular it will be sorted as less than 0.0. It is recommend to
migrate to PEP 440 compatible versions.
Recent threads on distutils-sig@ help explain some of what's happening.
E.g. the 'zope.app.wsgi<3.11,<4.0dev,>=3.12' probably used to be
interpreted as an "<3.11 or >=3.12" and just needs to be hunted down and
replaced with "!=3.11.*", or something like that.
(It's painful when you get requirement conflict errors with no
indication about the source of those requirements.)
