zope2 releases based on buildout make it very hard for distributors to
package zope2. especially as zope2 requires 
from what i know about buildout (and that's not much), it either requires
a working internet connection or a local mirror with exact versions of
all required python eggs.

i would highly appreciate a final release tarball which includes all
required python library/module eggs.
