[Zope-Coders] installer branch

[Jens Vagelpohl]

P.S.: after installing into a directory that did not have symbolic  
links along the path. the starting went fine. one other thing, if i sit  
in the zctl shell and execute "start", wouldn't it make more sense to  
return to that prompt after startup?
