    Removing develop-eggs/ directory before bootstrapping. · 55d76b34

    There is code in buildout to remove develop-eggs that it knows about.
    So if everything is OK, develop-egg removal works fine.
    If there's something fishy goign on, however, buildout
    doesn't clean it up enough. Zapping the entire directory upon bootstrap
    is a very effective way to prevent problems.
    
    Reason: the old osc.recipe.sysegg did add develop-eggs .egg-link files to the
    site-packages dir, effectively short-circuiting buildout's picked versions.
    Likewise an old bootstrap could have left a setuptoos.egg-link to an ancient
    setuptools version. I just this minute had to help a colleague with just such
    a problem.
