Hmm,

Zmake is an intelligent update thingo.  Just dump the new Zope source
release in a convient place, modify Makefile.zmake:Release to point to
the new directory structure and then run (in this order):
	* Make ZExtensions
	* Make Install

This assumes that you have a python console called zope_c.exe in the top
directory.  If not, build it via Make Zope
