Yes, but this recipe is overly burdensome and unnecessary in its desire 
to spew out out. It's also obnoxious to have to manage your zope.conf 
through a limited set of config options to a recipe.

I wish there was something like zc.zodbrecipes for Zope 2...
...especially if it used deployments.

...or the skeleton files that ship with the Zope 2 egg.
