Dieter,

Apologies for jumping late in this thread but how precisely should  
"App.FindHomes" be imported?

And a related question.  Any suggestions on how to support multiple  
product directories like a non-zeo config?  I checked already and  
zeo.conf doesn't appear to support the "products" directive.
