Although off-topic, I'd really like to know how to do that, too -- but I suspect
it's not possible, since at least the bootstrap.py (for the buildout builder)
and the virtualenv version (for the virtualenv builder) are hard-vendored into
the ShiningPanda plugin, i.e. it provides *its own copies* of these files,
and AFAICT there is no way to configure this. Thus, I wouldn't be too surprised
if tox was its own copy, too.
