I don't have OS X 10.8 yet, but I tried it on my 10.6.8 machine, using
MacPorts' Python 2.7.

I was able to bootstrap, but bin/buildout failed downloading one of the zc
recipes.  I don't have much in /opt/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages and I
didn't spend much time debugging the problem.

However, I was able to create a virtualenv and do a `python setup.py install`
into that virtualenv just fine.  I tested with `mailman info` but didn't try
to much else.

I'm guessing it's something weird with 10.8's built-in Python 2.7.
