No, just that that setup.py would live in the repo with and be
distributed with ZEO.  Unless Zope ships with ZEO (is it going to
now?  it would sure make some things I'm doing easier), the setup.py
that comes with Zope shouldn't have code to build ZEO.

Now I don't understand.  The current setup.py on the HEAD builds
ZODB plus several other things.  My setup.py builds ZODB much the
same way, in a setup call alongside several other setup calls for
other modules that are part of Zope and are not part of ZODB.  How
is that important to StandaloneZODB?  I'm not proposing to touch
StandaloneZODB's setup.py.
