It will be once Jens cranks the handle:

...if you had, you would have noticed that the Win32 service stuff as 
broken, even without using buildout.

I've now fixed that, and I'm happy to report that the buildout-based 
instances work just fine on Windows, and buildout instance or not, you 
no longer need that silly zopeservice.py file in your instance.

So, no excuse for needing mkzopeinstance and its ilk anymore ;-)
