[Zope] ZPoPyDA woes

[ender]

the most recent versions of popy are currently hosted on sourceforge.

http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/popy
http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/zpopy

popy wants some includes which are not included in a normal source make
of popy. catalog/fe??h. i generally just copy them over from the source 
directory to the installation directory

also if anyone is curious popy seems to work fine against postgres7.1b3,
which includes massive improvements to postgres. no 8k row limits, outer 
joins, speed improvements, etc.

cheers
