Bit o' good news:  there doesn't appear to be a Windows problem here
(might have been if we were using svn+ssh:, but not with plain svn:
access).

IOW, no changes have been checked in to any ZODB code on
five-integration branch, so it should indeed be identical to the ZODB
code still on Zope trunk.

The same appears true of zdaemon and ZConfig too, and AFAIK that
covers all the "external" code stitched in to Zope apart from new
external code introduced on the five-integration branch.
