[Zope] packing a data.fs from outside zope?

[Chris McDonough]

Zope doesn't need to run on the ZSS box.  Only the storage server process.
Clients ask the storage server process to pack its database.  It does so.
As its packing, operation continues more or less normally... there are a few
caveats that I can't remember, but it more or less just works.  I think
clients cache writes during this time, but I'm not entirely certain.
