in buildout.cfg "eggs=" specification lines with comments only break easy install

We need to change in all base.cfg files:
eggs = # set to package name in buildout.cfg
to:
# set to package name in buildout.cfg
eggs =

Reason:
When people extend eggs (instead of replacing) in buildout.cfg, like this:
eggs += schooltool

easy_install does not filter out "# set to package name in buildout.cfg" and passes it as a *separate* package requirement to pkg_resources. pkg_resources then apply regex to obtain the required package name and fails. Kudos to easy_install.

P.S.:
"eggs=schooltool # comment
           schooltool.gradebook" works, but
"eggs=schooltool
           # comment
           schooltool.gradebook" *does not*
