I'm all for this! The RPM would install everything into /usr/lib/zope-2.7/* 
except the bin directory, which it'd install in /usr/bin. That'd work on any 
RPM platform, and thanks to the mk* scripts, the actual installation of a 
zope instance is soooo much easier now. Previously the RPM had to worry about 
creating stuff in /var and /lib and all that mess. Now that problem's just 
gone away :)
