Hmmm, maybe this has been completely obvious to others, but I guess it 
really boils down to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/virtualenv/+bug/572545 
where -S is broken in virtualenvs.

Grok's grokproject tool has exactly the same problems, where it doesn't 
work anymore in a virtualenv *and* we're using -S when calling a newly 
created project's bootstrap.py.
