I have a branch of ZODB which makes this go:

  http://svn.zope.org/ZODB/branches/tseaver-persistent_as_egg/

(note that the branch assumes 'persistent' can be installed from PyPI, or
that you have separately installed it beforehand).

In order to work around that fact that setuptools / distribute do not
install headers when it installs eggs[1][2], I have tweaked the setup.py
to pass a "lazy string" for the 'include_path' entry to allow BTrees to
find the 'persisent/cPersistence.h' header.
