[Zope] DTML parsing outside of Zope

No. I've actually found a way to do it without starting zope (thus,
not using the ZODB).
The trick was in import nvSQL from DA.py and use that. It works now, I
can now parse and run ZSQL methods on the filesystem without having
any zope running.
I'm going to tidy my script and post it on my blog soon.
