rvanlaar/djangorecipe — Issue #26: djangorecipe does not fulfill 'django' dependency on eggs

I am creating a buildout that uses django via djangorecipe, but also some other eggs that require 'django>=1.0'.

When the eggs begin to install, the django install fetched by djangorecipe does not satisfy that dependency, so buildout will download the newest version of django from PyPI, overriding what's fetched by djangorecipe.

It seems the problem can be fixed by installing the checkout as a develop-egg, and I have attached a quick, hacky patch I did that seemed to fix my issue. I'm not really very familiar with buildout recipes, so I might be flying in the face of some really basic guidelines here, but it did at least let my django project build and run.
