Hi

The problem encountered is that zope.container specify ZODB3 as a main 
dependency. After checking the code, it seems that ZODB is only required 
for tests. If I modify zope.container.setup.py to specify ZODB3 as an 
extra dependency for test target, everything works fine.

I suspect that I'll probably have side effects by using modules using 
zope.container into zope2....
