And I added some additional text about adding:

    find-links = http://dist.plone.org/thirdparty/PILwoTk-1.1.6.4.tar.gz

to find-links.

But then Israel pointed out that find-links were mentioned above. So, someone
should probably fix that(I don't have time at the moment but will look later,
if noone else gets to it. ;-)

My only point was that it is "better" to specify exactly what you want to
add for two reasons:

1. To avoid "finding links" you don't want (aka "pollution" which leads to conflicts).
2. To demonstrate to folks that it is possible to specify find-links this way.

E.g.

http://svn.plone.org/svn/plone/Products.PloneOrg/trunk/buildout.cfg
