#2405: buildmaster 0.8.7p1 does not start from a buildout
--------------------+-----------------------

--------------------+-----------------------
 The change of the start script between 0.8.7 and 0.8.7p1 is not compatible
 with zc.buildout.

 The buildout modifies the `sys.path` to include the configured eggs before
 running the application.
 However Buildbot 0.8.7p1 will use sys.executable to spawn another process.
 In the spawn process, the `sys.path` is the default and does not include
 the paths to the eggs needed.

 This patch fixes the issue:
