Sorry.

Right.

Well, as I wrote, I have the zope package from a current Zope3 trunk in my
path.

Oh, wait. I wrote this on #zope3-dev where I asked first. Sorry again, I
confused myself by spreading over too many (i.e. more than one) media...

Anyway, you don't seem to have Zope in your path, but I do.

It did for me too. I guess the crucial difference was doing build_ext
instead of just build. Maybe someone with more distutils clue could say
something about it; if my guess is right, README.txt should be changed.

Yes, you wrote that before, I just didn't quote it. I'd have to find out
first whether I have write access to the CVS, though.

Normalization of votes should definitely be standardized across lists. But
then, what does "implementing a deprecation" mean? If it's just adding a
deprecation warning, I should be able to make it in time ;o)
