+ site.py also is available, which will make it safer for use with a
+ system Python than the pre-existing buildout function

+ End users should see z3c.recipe.scripts, which provides this
+ functionality within buildout configuration files.

+ The older function (``zc.buildout.easy_install.scripts``) and recipe
+ (``zc.recipe.egg``) still survive, because of their comparative attractive
+ simplicity, because they still work well when a non-system Python is used,
+ and because they can often be used well with a system Python.
