[Zope] importing/exporting

[Jens Vagelpohl]

when you use export/import you should ensure that the zope install on the 
receiving end has all the same products installed. importing does not make 
any changes to the file system, so if you have anything on the old server 
filesystem that the site depends on you must copy that to the new server 
separately if it does not already exist there.
