	I believe if the RPM doesn't insert the /config directory then the SRPM
that builds it won't either.  The solution to this is to d/l your own version of
Python and compile it from the tar.gz file.

./configure
make
make install (<- may need to be root)

should do it.  I have Zope running fine on 5.0, 5.1 and 5.2 with hand compiled
pythons like this.
