Okay, fair enough... the problem is that I run a few Zopes on my NT
workstation for testing stuff that's REALLY likely to break ;-) (don't
want anyone to think I'd use NT in production!...)

I already had 2.1.6 running and when I tried to start up 2.2, they both
tried to use the same port for PCGI causing 2.2 to bomb out.

Maybe PCGI should be off by default?
If people want to use PCGI, they'll know they want to use it, but other
people just tend to run with default settings that starts up a PCGI
server that never gets used...
