I released a new version today. It's a lot easier now to use several  
eggs within gae. This test thingy http://zpttest.appspot.com/ uses  
zope.interface and zope.pagetemplate plus their dependencies. I'm  
planning to release another sample project maybe during easter  
holidays. It's much more fun since you zope people cleaned up a lot of  
dependencies and unveiled zc.buildout. Thanks!

Cheers,
Tobias
