There are many times you can have a section that isn't a part; the
buildout section is just that, as is the section named by
buildout:versions.  Only parts need to have the recipe specified.

*If* buildout should support some special "environment" section, I'd
hope that it was explicitly referenced by something like
buildout:environment.  This would avoid the problem of breaking
existing buildouts that already use sections with whatever
conventional name arises for this feature.
