[Zope] test scripts with versions

[Jim Kutter]

Thanks for the heads up. I'll most likely have 2 tiers, devel and =
production, nothing fancy. Despite my efforts to keep life simple, =
things still get complicated fast. I don't suppose I can automate a =
synch? I can't think of a good reason to do it now, but it's likely to =
come up.
