Reformated the tests to simplify the examples of calling the buildout
script.

+Bootstrapping
+-------------

+with it's own local copies of zc.buildout and setuptools and with
+local buildout scripts.  There must be an existing setup.cfg:
+
+    >>> sample_bootstrapped = tempfile.mkdtemp('sample-bootstrapped')

+Note that, in this example, we were using a development egg for the
+buildout, and the ac.buildout egg ended up as an egg link.
