I believe you're looking for either -o, if you have the eggs already, or the aforementioned mind buildout.cfg ;-)

[2] admittedly, I could create a new empty config file, have it extend
    buildout.cfg,

Why extend? If you're screwing around you only want a small set of eggs...

Don't get the wrong impression; despite occasional frustrations,
buildout is a good tool that does things virtualenv doesn't do, and I
prefer to use buildout for all my Python packages once they stop being
trivially simple.  Buildout's killer feature is the shared egg cache.

Right, I just wish it didn't have to build the monster sys.path[:]= and have its own custom scripts when all you want is an interpreter ;-)
