Use `buildout.python` to build our Python? #30

It's usually good to be isolated from the system Python. Compiling different versions of Python on different systems can be a pain, as https://github.com/collective/buildout.python illustrates.

Dylan writes on #29 "There is alternative Fabric method which uses buildout.python but there is no zip package of this. You have to use svn."

I see bootstrap_python_buildout. It checks out svn co http://svn.plone.org/svn/collective/buildout/python but this results in: svn: URL 'http://svn.plone.org/svn/collective/buildout/python' doesn't exist.

I believe it moved to https://github.com/collective/buildout.python

How would bootstrap_python_buildout be triggered? I see fabfile calls 'bootstrap_python_%s'%hostos, but don't see how to trigger buildout without breaking other things.
