changes from flacosate review, merged from svn

20. By gary on 2009-07-10

revert some of the features; they were annoying to me in practice. Also make error messages better.

Support the new zc.buildout 1.4.0+ include-site-packages option, and more.

--------
Features
--------

- Support the new zc.buildout 1.4.0+ include-site-packages option.

- Use the new zc.buildout 1.4.0+ path sorting algorithm, which puts
  site-package dependency paths after the other dependency paths (but before
  extra paths, as before). This can reduce or eliminate problems with
  packages in site-packages causing other dependencies to be masked with the
  versions in site-packages.

- Support escaping "$" with "$$" in templates. This is particularly useful
  for *NIX shell scripts.

- Support specifying local options in templates without braces (e.g.,
  "Hello $world" is now equivalent to "Hello ${world}".

-----
Fixes
-----

- Clarify that the recipe does not support the relative-paths options.

- Make tests less susceptible to timing errors.

make a branch for supporting zc.buildout 1.4.0 (hopefully) that also has some additional features

- Add placeholder for next release

16. By sidnei on 2009-07-02

- Record release date

15. By sidnei on 2009-06-06

- Use ``realpath`` helper function from zc.buildout on the buildout
  directory too, such that it goes through the same normalization as
  the path being compared and stands a chance of working on Windows,
  due to possible drive letter case differences.

prepare for subsequent release

remove sorting of paths. a bad idea.

12. By gary on 2009-04-30

prepare for subsequent release (I question this practice).
