I did this now.  The entry points in setup.py are now:

  "zc.buildout":
      ["default = z3c.recipe.eggbasket:Downloader",
       "creator = z3c.recipe.eggbasket:Creator",]

So you would create a script for making a tar ball like this:

  [bundlemaker]
  recipe = z3c.recipe.eggbasket:creator
  egg = grok
  versionfile = http://grok.zope.org/releaseinfo/grok-0.12.cfg

And in another buildout (like a created grokproject) you would use the
tarball like this:

  [eggbasket]
  recipe = z3c.recipe.eggbasket
  eggs = grok
  url = http://grok.zope.org/releaseinfo/grok-eggs-0.12.tgz

No support for fetching some extra win32 eggs yet.  That'll be my next
project.
