It's a shame this couldn't have been implemented in a more 
component-architecture-oriented way, but I'm guess things get 
chicken-and-egg-y at this point?

Ah, I see :-)

Okay, but where's this code? (ie: what .py should I look at for the 
local registry implementation)

I still can't make out if the whole eggs/easy_install thing just sucks 
and we should build something else for the python community (it's not 
just zope that's struggled with easy_install ;-) ) or if it's just zope 
that's had the real problems 'cos of some "bad eggs"...

Really? I don't see much activity on that list at all nowadays, although 
there was quite an interesting thread (and quite relevent to zope3 and 
zope-dev) that kicked off which involved dtml ;-)

Will do, but please be patient with my fumblings in the meantime.

If it helps, as far as components and registries goes, I'm aiming for 
something like skin-like stacked registries that can be altered ttw...

cheers,
