The docstring says:

Common usage: python setup.py build_ext --build-lib `pwd`/lib/python

I've used that and it indeed builds the extensions in-place (and
with less fuss than wo_pcgi.py).

I don't understand what you're saying here.  Are you just telling us
that you're not creating a setup.py for ZEO?

Question: how does your setup.py affect standalone ZODB?
