[Zope] Installing ZPatterns

[Michael Twomey]

Hi,
	this one stung me too for a while but the Makefile.pre.in the
instructions are refering to is the one which a full python install has
in the /usr/lib/python/config/ directory which is used for building
python modules and making sure they build correctly against python.

So for a typical python2.1 installation you copy the
/usr/lib/python2.1/config/Makefile.pre.in into the directory and
continue following the instructions. I feel the instructions could be a
little clearer (its not clear from the context that the Makefile comes
with python).

cheers,
	mick
