merge lp:~gary/zc.buildout/betafix8.  merges trunk and simplifies the pattern for using newer versions of buildout, per review.

By default, Buildout and the bootstrap script now prefer final versions of Buildout, recipes, and extensions.

fix the more troublesome problems with Python 2.7.  Tests still fail after these changes, but only for trivial output-ordering issues.

Handle systems with pkg_resources but without setuptools (I am looking at you Ubuntu.. grrr). Fixes LP#410528

fix virtualenv interaction by identfying broken virtualenv characteristic and reverting to previous behavior in that case.

move the new bootstrap aside to let virtualenv users that have packages linked to bootstrap in trunk stay happy.
