[Zope] repozo.py problems

I'm going to dig up something that's really troubling me today, and a
"Martin Koekenberg" in the past.

Martin first posted the following about repozo.py.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Program Files\Plone 3\Zope\bin\repozo.py", line 76, in <module>
    from ZODB.FileStorage import FileStorage
ImportError: No module named ZODB.FileStorage

Which, it was noted was a problem with PYTHONPATH not being set.  One
question I have is why plone3 installlation does not set this variable
on installation?
So I set it and now have the following problem (note I slightly
modified repozo.py to print our sys.path before importing.)

C:\Program Files\Plone 3\Zope\bin>repozo.py
['C:\\Program Files\\Plone 3\\Zope\\bin', 'c:\\Program Files\\Plone 3\\Zope\\lib
\\python', 'C:\\WINNT\\system32\\python25.zip', 'c:\\Python25\\DLLs', 'c:\\Pytho
n25\\lib', 'c:\\Python25\\lib\\plat-win', 'c:\\Python25\\lib\\lib-tk', 'C:\\Pyth
on25', 'c:\\Python25\\lib\\site-packages', 'c:\\Python25\\lib\\site-packages\\wi
n32', 'c:\\Python25\\lib\\site-packages\\win32\\lib', 'c:\\Python25\\lib\\site-p
ackages\\Pythonwin']

Is there a 'cPersistence.dll' file that is supposed to be somewhere,
and maybe I don't have that in my path?

Thanks a lot.  This is really frustrating.
