[Zope] External modules and import

[Joe Goldthwaite]

Well that's the strange thing, I don't have a PYTHONPATH environment
variable defined.  Zope must have it's own PYTHONPATH defined somewhere but
I haven't been able to find it.  If I could find it, I'd just add my
development directory to the path statement. I'm running Windows by the way.
I don't know if that affects the answer.

one simle way to achive this is to edit the start script.
add the line:
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:./Extensions
somewhere before the exec command.

Still I'm curious if there are better ways to do this.
