zeoctl.py is fine for running ZEO.  As I explained, zdaemon is generally 
useful on its own for running other things.  The zdrun/ctl.py commands 
are the interfaces to it.

I guess what I hadn't considered is that zeorun/ctl are a superset of 
zdrun/zdctl-- they just add the ZEO config schema.  It just seems 
strange to use those commands for a process that has nothing to do with ZEO.
