WOW! This was too easy.  :-)  What a difference in installation.  We
have a peer review process on OSHIP so I'll have to wait for
confirmation before merging to the trunk.

I think the name is appropriate.  Maybe this particular person just
wasn't familiar with the common usage of bootstraping (it is BTW where
we get BOOT for starting up a computer).  


I will say though that I started the OSHIP project using zopeproject
before Grok came along.  As many times as I read the docs on buildout I
never really understood what bootstrap.py could do for me.  

Cheers,
Tim
