[Zope] broken products not indicated after Zope 2.2.5 install

[Fred Yankowski]

I activated Zope logging as you suggested and restarted Zope, but the
logfile does not report any exceptions.  It only contains routine
startup messages such as "ZServer HTTP server started ...".

And the Products list still makes it look like they're all OK, when
many are in fact broken by virtue of being completely missing in the
lib/python/Products directory.
