I have to thank you all for your valuable suggestions.

Yes, I do have the freedom to choose which Zope version to run on my
machines and I'm going to focus my attention on the setup you suggested.

Thank you, I'll take a look at that too.


to Marco/Eric:
what you suggested is just what I was thinking about even if I still
have
to understand how to put together all your suggestions to provide a
comfortable
and painless development environment to my devs.
PAFlow looks really interesting to me since one of our projects
is directly related to the local PA.

Again, thank you all.
