I added a patch to issue 165 that I believe is complete, except for
documentation and tests. I've been using it pretty extensively for a
week or so, and it does just what I need.

Before creating a pull request, I'd like to add some documentation. I
can't find any tests of bootstrap.py, so I'm not sure what to do there.
But before I spend more time on this, could someone (Jim?) pass judgment
on the code patch? I don't want to spend much more time on this if it
doesn't have a hope of getting accepted.

I addressed a few issues in the checkin message at
https://github.com/buildout/buildout/commit/e4f5809962fb3851f48dd6558a55dda0bd299563
. I'd like to make sure my decisions outlined there are acceptable, too.

Thanks.
Eric.
