One little note: Only people with their noses deep down in Unix will
understand concepts like 'etc' and 'var'. Remoddeling the distribution may
be a good idea, but it should then be made more obvious to everybody. It
must be possible to find names that are easy to understand even for
Windows-damaged people like me. Maybe call var 'data' instead?

In /etc the suggestions so far only seem to want to put inituser, access and
config, which would leave that empty for many, or most, installations. :-)

And also, I too would want to put all the standard stuff that comes with
Zope into $HOME/lib, but have a $HOME/products or somesuch for user
installed products.
