Removed "shared eggs dir gets hosed" warning from the readme and replaced it

with a "everything works great now" message.  Tnx to Vincent Fretin for
warning me about it.

- **How does Distribute interacts with zc.buildout?**
You can use Distribute in your zc.buildout.
Although you have to run a specific `bootstrap.py` file that is available
at `http://python-distribute.org/bootstrap.py`. The code is located at
You can use Distribute in your zc.buildout. *The only thing* you need to do
is use the bootstrap at `http://python-distribute.org/bootstrap.py`. Run
that bootstrap and ``bin/buildout`` (and all other buildout-generated
scripts) will transparently use distribute instead of setuptools. You do
not need a specific buildout release.
A shared eggs directory is no problem (since 0.6.6): the setuptools egg is
left in place unmodified. So other buildouts that do not yet use the new
bootstrap continue to work just fine. And there is no need to list
``distribute`` somewhere in your eggs: using the bootstrap is enough.
The source code for the bootstrap script is located at
`http://bitbucket.org/tarek/buildout-distribute`.
Beware that if you use a shared eggs folder with buildout, you need to
switch all buildouts that use it to distribute. This is due to the fact
that the setuptools eggs located in the shared folder will be replaced
by a fake one, alongside distribute.
