I plan to add explicit buildout support for distribute.  Here's a
sketch. Basically it boils down to satisfying requirements for
setuptools with distribute whenever distribute is in buildout's
working set.  So, when installing a package that requires setuptools,
it will convert that requirement to a requirement for distribute.
There will be 2 separate bootstrap scripts, one that uses distribute
and one that uses setuptools.  There will also be a buildout
configuration option that will allow a buildout configuration author
to fix which is used.  Probably:

use-distribute = true

This will only serve as a check that the right bootstrap was used.

Comments?
