I'll accept it, but I'm not very happy. It's really an excellent way to 
get beginners to be very confused, and it's non-trivial for them to 
figure out what is really going on.

If people like the current semantics of 'develop' to be "just list it on 
the path", then I propose *another* entry in [buildout] that *does* 
these semantics:

[buildout]
really_develop =

I'm open to other names. :)

The semantics are that it will list the package on 'develop' and add a 
"package_name = " line to the [versions] section.
