Having a nice true/false boolean become a true/false/'show' hybrid: not
too nice.
I've added a show-picked-versions option (default: false). Set it to
true and you get the picked versions at the end like buildout-versions
would give you.

Done.

Hm. I copy/pasted the buildout-versions code and worked from there.
Buildout-versions simply looks at a 'python' entry in the [versions]
part, so that's different from a python-version option.
That's not too bad as it saves us another buildout option. But... do we
want to change this?

Should my pull request land in 2.0 instead of in 2.1?
Alternative is that Chris accepts the buildout-versions pull request I
prepared, but he's right (I think) in preferring it to land in buildout
itself.
(I myself cannot really use buildout 2 without the buildout-versions
functionality either in buildout itself or in a new buildout-versions).
