Bug Description
There are a few places site-wide initialization can be done, such as in lib/site.py or in the [scripts] portion of buildout.cfg. The former has been demonstrated to cause some undesirable (and as yet unexplained) behavior while the latter seems to work very well, though is non-standard and not very discoverable.
It would be best to have a single, well-known, discoverable initialization entry point. This entry point will likely be called by one of the other methods but will be a cleaner place for developers to put initialization code.

The plot thickens: initialization done via lib/site.py works for the test environment but not the app servers. Initialization done via buildout.cfg works for app servers but not the test environment. The need for a single initialization entry point that works in both environments is ever more important.
