"python bootstrap.py" will give you the latest zc.buildout.  When you
then run bin/buildout, it should update itself to use the pinned
version from versions.cfg.  A bit unexpected perhaps, but that was
what happened last time I tried this.  

I don't know how a system-wide installed zc.buildout would affect
this.
