[Zope] Redhat 8.0 and Zope

[Adam Manock]

The python2.1-2.1.3 SRPM from python.org should build fine on RH8.0.
The binary RPMS thus created will install python 2.1.3 as "python2.1"
by default, just as they did on RH 7.x. This will not interfere with an
existing python 1.5.x or 2.2.x installation

#  RPM build options:
#
#  --without-binsuffix -- Do not name executable "python2.1".
#  --without-tkinter -- Do not build Tkinter package.
#  --with-pymalloc -- Enable pymalloc memory allocator (may break Zope).
#  --with-idlesuffix -- Install idle as "idle2".
#  --without-lfs -- Disable Large File Support.

PS. Where are people getting their RH8.0 ISOs from? I have yet to
        find an ftp mirror that isn't swamped and running at 4KB/s
