So, it's been a week, and the SourceForge bug [1] is still not fixed.

 [1] http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/ticket/18486

There are three other possible workarounds:

 1. Put ClientForm and mechanize into the buildout cache on the build
    slave, so buildout doesn't try to go look for newer versions
    elsewhere.  This ought to work: one of the four builders is still
    green, for this reason.

 2. Add an allow-hosts option to buildout.cfg -- except it's generated
    by a tool I'm not familiar with (zope.kgs.buildout).  Maybe I could
    tweak ~/.pydistutils.cfg on the buildslave?

 3. Update versions.cfg in the KGS 3.4 to require a newer setuptools
    version or distribute, then release it as KGS 3.4.2a1.  Except the
    only setuptools version with the fix is a prerelease
    (0.6c12dev-r88975).

I don't like (1) and (2) because they're local fixes: any user trying to
actually use the 3.4 KGS will trip on this problem.  In that sense it's
useful to have these buildbots red: we know the problem is not fixed yet
for the users (assuming the 3.4 KGS still has any).

I don't like (3) because, ick, pinning a svn snapshot version?  Not cool.
