Great! And much better readable than the default bootstrap.py :-)

If installing a virtualenv is still recommended (and from my point of
view it is), we could make it the default (turning ``--virtualenv`` into
``--no-virtualenv``).

Beside this we might want an additional ``--download-base`` option to
allow download from other locations than PyPI.

What would be the cons/side-effects?

Best regards,
