Description
Make it super, super simple to set up a development environment.
Unfortunately, as much as I prefer virtualenv for deployment, I think it requires too much special python packaging knowledge to maintain. I'm going to add support for / rewrite the hacking_howto section for using zc.buildout. Virtualenv will still be an option (and that will be mentioned), but I'm fairly sure that zc.buildout is the only option that makes working with such a codebase doable for people who aren't deeply familiar with python packaging.
Also need to check in a basic working paste deploy config file to make running the server simple.
(We'll probably keep virtualenv instructions in the deployment guide but that's a ways off.)
Done!
