I read through quickly. I see how to include an egg in a buildout. I do 
not see how to do the opposite, include a buildout into an egg.

usual Z3 egg just have bootstrap.py and buildout.cfg at the root of the 
egg as can be seen in

http://svn.zope.org/zope.tal/trunk/

Running paster create -t plone3_buildout does much more if I remember well.
