Reverted to last known good state. The factoring was too hard. :)

It would have broken old bootstrap scripts.  Now my problem is that if
I update buildout in a way that recipes depend on, people will have to
update their buildouts by running the bootstrap script. This isn't ideal.

buildout.cfg

 [buildout]
-develop = zc.recipe.egg_ zc.recipe.testrunner zc.buildoutsupport
+develop = zc.recipe.egg_ zc.recipe.testrunner
 parts = test
 
 # prevent slow access to cheeseshop:

todo.txt

 
+- Need a better way to handle buildout updates.  If I update buildout
+  and new versions of recipes depend on that, people will have to use
+  the bootstrap script to get a newer version of buildout or the
+  recipes won't load correctly.
+
+  I either need a more clever recipe loader that can load older
+  recipes when newer recipes aren't compatible with the existing
+  buildout version, or I need to make the buildout self updating.

 - Use setuptools PackageIndex objects to improve performance by
   deciding whether we need to download anything without using
   easy_install.

-Zope Buildout
-=============
-
-.. contents::
-
-The Zope Buildout project provides support for creating applications,
-especially Python applications.  It provides tools for assembling
-applications from multiple parts, Python or otherwise.  An application
-may actually contain multiple programs, processes, and configuration
-settings.
-
-Here's an example of such an application that we built with an earlier
-prototype of the buildout system. We have a Zope application consisting of:
-
-- Multiple Zope instances
-
-- 4 ZEO servers
-
-- An LDAP server
-
-- Cache-invalidation and Mail delivery servers
-
-- Dozens of add-on packages
-
-- Multiple test runners
-
-- Multiple deployment modes, including dev, stage, and prod, 
-  with prod deployment over multiple servers
-
-Parts installed include:
-
-- Application software installs, including Zope, ZEO and LDAP
-  software
-
-- Add-on packages
-
-- Bundles of configuration that define Zope, ZEO and LDAP instances
-
-- Utility scripts such as test runners, server-control
-  scripts, cron jobs.
-
-This is all defined using configuration files and recipes, which are
-software that build and installs parts based on configuration data.
-The prototype system has minimal documentation and no tests and
-has no egg support.  (It build on earlier make-based systems that had
-no documentation or tests.)  
-
-This project provides a non-prototype implementation of the ideas and
-knowledge gained from earlier efforts and leverages setuptools to make
-recipe management cleaner and to provide better Python package and
-script management.
-
-The word "buildout" refers to a description of a set of parts and the
-software to create and assemble them.  It is often used informally to
-refer to an installed system based on a buildout definition.  For
-example, if we are creating an application named "Foo", then "the Foo
-buildout" is the collection of configuration and application-specific
-software that allows an instance of the application to be created.  We
-may refer to such an instance of the application informally as "a Foo
-buildout".  
-
-I expect that, for many Zope packages, we'll arrange the package
-projects in subversion as buildouts.  To work on the package, someone
-will check the project out of Subversion and build it.  Building it
-will assemble all of packages and programs needed to work on it.  For
-example, a buildout for a project to provide a new security policy
-will include the source of the policy and specifications to build the
-application for working on it, including:
-
-- a test runner
-
-- a web server for running the user interface
-
-- supporting packages
-
-A buildout will typically contain a copy of bootstrap.py.  When
-someone checks out the project, they'll run bootstrap.py, which will
-
-- create support directories, like bin, eggs, and work, as needed,
-
-- download and install the zc.buildout and setuptools eggs,
-
-- run bin/build (created by installing zc.buildout) to build the
-  application.
-
-Buildouts are defined using configuration files.  These files are
-based on the Python ConfigParser module with some variable-definition
-and substitution extensions.  
-
-Installation
-============
-
-There are two ways to install zc,buildout
-
-1. Install it as an egg using `easy_install
-   <http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall>`_ into a
-   Python instaallation. Then just use the buildout script from your
-   Python bin or Scripts directory.
-
-2. Use the `bootstrap script
-   <http://dev.zope.org/Buildout/bootstrap.py>`_ to install setuptools
-   and the buildout software into your buildout.  Typically, you'll
-   check the bootstrap script into your project so that, whenever you
-   checkout your project, you can turn it into a buildout by just
-   running the bootstrap script.
-
-More information
-================
-
-The detailed documentation for the various parts of buildout can be
-found in the following files:
-
-`buildout.txt <http://dev.zope.org/Buildout/buildout.html>`_
-   Describes how to define and run buildouts.  It also describes how
-   to write recipes.
-
-`easy_install.txt <http://dev.zope.org/Buildout/easy_install.html>`_
-   Describes an Python APIs for invoking easy_install for generation
-   of scripts with paths baked into them.
-
-
-Download
-========
-
-You can download zc.buildout and many buildout recipes from the
-`Python Package Index <http://www.python.org/pypi>`_.
-
-Recipes
-=======
-
-Existing recipes include:
-
-`zc.recipe.egg <http://dev.zope.org/Buildout/egg.html>`_
-   The egg recipe installes one or more eggs, with their
-   dependencies.  It installs their console-script entry points with
-   the needed eggs included in their paths.
-
-`zc.recipe.testrunner <http://dev.zope.org/Buildout/testrunner.html>`_
-   The testrunner egg installs creates a test runner script for one or
-   more eggs.
-
-`zc.recipe.zope3checkout <http://dev.zope.org/Buildout/zope3checkout.html>`_
-   The zope3checkout recipe installs a Zope 3 checkout into a
-   buildout.
-
-`zc.recipe.zope3instance <http://dev.zope.org/Buildout/zope3instance.html>`_
-   The zope3instance recipe sets up a Zope 3 instance.
-
-`zc.recipe.filestorage <http://dev.zope.org/Buildout/filestorage.html>`_
-   The filestorage recipe sets up a ZODB file storage for use in a
-   Zope 3 instance creayed by the zope3instance recipe.
-
-Buildout examples
-=================
-
-Some simple buildout examples:
-
-`The zc.buildout project <http://svn.zope.org/zc.buildout/trunk>`_
-   This is the project for the buildout software itself, which is
-   developed as a buildout. 
-
-`The zc sharing project <http://svn.zope.org/zc.sharing/trunk>`_
-   This project illistrates using the buildout software with Zope 3.
-   Note that the bootstrap.py file is checked in so that a buildout
-   can be made when the project is checked out.  The buildout.cfg
-   specified everything needed to create a Zope 3 installation with
-   the zc.sharing package installed in development mode.
-
-Status
-======
-
-The buildout system is under active development. Some near term
-priorities include:
-
-- Better error reporing
-
-- Windows support
-
-- Handling of egg extras
-
-- More recipes
-
-Questions
-=========
-
-You can send questions to jim@zope.com.
-
-Change History
-==============
-
-1.0.0b3
--------
-
-- Added Windows support.
-
-- Fixed some bugs in variable substitutions.  
-
-  The characters "-", "." and " ", weren't allowed in section or
-  option names.
-
-  Substitutions with invalid names were ignored, which caused
-  missleading failures downstream.
-
-- Improved error handling.  No longer show tracebacks for user errors.
-
-- Now require a recipe option (and therefore a section) for every part.
-
-1.0.0b2
--------
-
-Added support for specifying some build_ext options when installing eggs
-from source distributions.
-
-1.0.0b1
--------
-
-- Changed the bootstrapping code to only install setuptools and
-  zc.buildout. The bootstrap code no-longer runs the buildout itself.
-  This was to fix a bug that caused parts to be recreated
-  unnecessarily because the recipe signature in the initial buildout
-  reflected temporary locations for setuptools and zc.buildout.
-
-- Now create a minimal setup.py if it doesn't exist and issue a
-  warning that it is being created.
-
-- Fixed bug in saving installed configuration data.  %'s and extra
-  spaces weren't quoted.
-
-1.0.0a1
--------
-
-Initial public version
