FYI, I repaired those tonight.  At least 6 necessary files from the
Zope3 code were missed by "setup.py install", covering three
extensions (.rst, .request, .response), and one file with no extension
at all ('png').

The only tests that fail from a WinBuilders build/ directory now
(well, after changing CVS HEAD to use the right Zope version number,
and editing 3 lines to look for Startup in Zope2) are the 2 tests that
have been failing on Windows since last October.

I can't make time to dig into those; for that matter, I couldn't make
time to look at setup.py either <0.9 wink>.
