Uh, that's 'cos someone broke the Zope HEAD so it doesn't compile on Windows ;-)

Nah, it doesn't try and do everything, just enough to make it generically useful for
building and testing things. Doing as you suggest would make it to specific :-(

The problem file is initgroups.c:

...which uses grp.h, which doesn't appear to exist.

If whoever broke this could fix it, I'd be very grateful. Mr Behrens, I believe that's you
;-)
