Hm, that's not a big deal then. I'm just at a loss how this would fix 
the case-insensitivity import problem on Windows; I think I'm missing 
something.

Why would we have to include zope.interface in Zope 2.8? Do we want to 
*use* it in the Zope 2.8 code? If not, then as easy to just install it 
(and other pieces of Zope 3) separately.

I realize Zope 2.8 has benefits, but I have quite a bit on my plate 
anyway. I'll help test option 4, but I can't really commit to 
implementing it.
