For i18ndude you need to use either workingenv or a separate buildout,
but a combination of the two isn't needed. Only when you want to install
i18ndude into a buildout which already has Zope2 or Zope3 in
non-eggified form included you better use workingenv indeed.

This distribution madness is the reason I don't release i18ndude as a
final right now.
