   I made a fork of buildout on github with an even better implementation:

   https://github.com/thefunny42/buildout/compare/buildout:master...master

   Feedback is welcome and if you want me to press the push request, please
do.

   On the Silva buildout, rerunning buildout without changing anything goes
from 63.81s to 33.75s (most of the time is now mr.developer).
