This means the eggs/ cache dir creation also moved to the start of buildout
instead of happening somewhere deep in the installation mechanism. I'll need
to adjust the test output for this.

Avoid prefixing buildout dir to 'special' rpath elements.

Noted the change in buildout's changelog, too, as that's much more prominent
and as it fixes a buildout bug.

Travis speed improvement through caching

(Good test to see if it improved travis' speed!)

The cache mechanism of travis-ci.org itself creates the cache directory, so it
is already there before we try to add it.
The bin/python inside it seems a good target.

Disabling sudo enables the use of the container based infra, necessary for
caching.
The directory with the downloaded and compiled python is cached.

Use local ez_setup.py if one exists; add --setuptools-download-base option
