Eh. It was a secret, but now that you mentioned it I will need to 
reveal. I spent the whole day yesterday figuring out a way to use 
kernel's 'make menuconfig' to build custom instances of Zope. I have it 
barely working, and will certainly need help for creating the Makefile 
with the output of 'make menuconfig' (which is a file with some 
variables set, like 'CONFIG_ZOPE_26=y'). Ill put it in CVS later today, 
and lets see how far we go.

AFAIK, you can ignore this. Its just a warning that the library may not 
be available in the future and recommendation to use something else that 
does the same job.

Interesting. I have quite a few plone sites running on zope-head+python2.2.

I dont think theres a 2.7 branch at this point.

Of course. Just FWIW, it works in debian-powerpc. :P
