[ZPT] Installing Zope 3 ZPT

[Chris Withers]

Have a google for a post I made a while back to the zope3-dev at zope.org 
list saying thankyou for the amazing packaging work they did for the new 
ZPT.

There were a few mails in the thread and one of them showed the exact 
steps I used to produce the tarballs and windows installers I worked with...

If those steps no longer work, ask on zope3-dev at zope.org, the people 
there are usually pretty responsive...

cheers,

Chris
