Thanks for your answer.
I tried zc.zope3recipies:app and it does create the app and the instance etc., 
but I don't know how to handle the ZCML configuration. In a traditional Zop3.3 
tarball, I had to use bin/mkzopeinstance which gave me an etc directory with a 
functional site.zcml. The site.zcml created by zc.zope3recipies does not 
include all that boilerplate.

So do I have to go through all the ZCML stuff from the etc-dir of my old 
zope3.3 tarball-install and add relevant ZCML to the new buildout site.zcml, 
or is there some automatic way? I know, that in zope3.4, there is the 
zope.app.zcmlfiles packages, which containes most of this boilerplate - but 
what about zope3.3?

Thanks for your advice.

Best regards,

Mat
