hmm.? The easy_install approach was working at the time when we released
a1 some weeks ago. So there must be a small problem causing the issue.
In fact "easy_install Zope2" acts like "configure; make" and will create
bin/mkzopeinstance and all the other stuff within out Python
environment. We will also check about having the traditional source-dist
containing everything..but we are at alpha 1 right now.
