Yes, after I replied I remembered that I had forgotten to deal with these. My
next package will simply remove these files from the install, unless you have a
better suggestion.

I'm not familiar with this; I think it would involve (at least) modifying all
the ZODB sources to look for these packages in a different place (or run any
program using ZODB with a PYTHONPATH including whatever subdirectory we
choose). My particular interest in Zope libraries is for SAGE
(http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/SciTech/SAGE).

Quite possibly. I must apologize for the sloppy work, I was rushed for time
yesterday.

This sounds reasonable.
