All I'm talking about is including some existing packages.  I'm not
proposing any more than that.

The main blocker was and is the need to get ZClasses working for backward
compatibility reasons.  I am curreently working on this as I find
time.  My intent is to try to clean up and use the persistent class
support from Zope 3 for this.  This code depends on zope.interface,
as does the trunk of ZODB.
