Normally, my first comment would be that the patch needs tests.
Otherwise, it could be a long time before it gets merged.

I really think we need to take a step back and think more about this
use case.

In general, I'd like to phase out support for using multiple Python
interpeters in the same buildout. It makes the code and tests really
complicated. I really want the code to be much simpler.

I think this is a different case though. Here, you only want to use
one Python, but you want to build it during the bootstrapping
process. Is that a correct assessment? If so, we should brainstorm
this use case (or family of use cases) on the distutils-sig list.
