I've got this working on my standard Zope CVS install - I had to copy
just the lib/python/Products/WorldPilot/ directory to my install, then
make the directories specified in the INSTALL file. Problems 
I've found so far:

It expects a pickled file in /var/spool/worldpilot/sessions/Logons to
exist - I think I fooled it here by making it a pickle of an empty
dictionary. from looking at the code, this seems ok.
Something like the following will work:

% cd /var/spool/worldpilot/sessions
% python 
Python 1.5.2 (#2, Sep 12 1999, 16:22:52)  [GCC 2.7.2.3] on linux2
Copyright 1991-1995 Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam
>>> import cPickle
>>> cPickle.Pickler(open('Logons', 'wb')).dump({})
>>> ^D (to exit python)

When you create a WorldPilot object, you get something that looks 
a lot like the add form from the Poll product :)

The code's a leeetle bit too enthusiastic with bareword 'except:' 
clauses around problem areas. This can make finding problems a bit
ugly.

Other than that, it seems to be working fine - I had to tweak the
source a little to get it to use the IMAP server that I wanted, but
heck, that's fine.
