I wish we could just bless buildout as "the way" to set up Zope 2.12, 
then mkzopeinstance becomes moot. If you dig back through the archives, 
you'll find the buildout.cfg I came up with that works exactly as it should.

I had notions of coming up with a generic mkintance package that would 
package up a buildout.cfg and bootstrap.py into a single executable 
script called mkzope212instance.py, but never got round to it...
