Jeff,

You may be interested in the "chrism-install-branch" of the Zope trunk.  It has an rpm builder ("make rpmdist").  Any suggestions for splitting the setup.py should probably be made in terms of this branch as it will be merged into the head soon.

Please break the global setup.py apart so that it is
easier to build selected Zope components, for
packaging.  A single, monolithic build process is not
developer friendly and makes assumptions of the use
and placement of build results.

Apparently the distutils functionality doesn't support
selected builds of subpackages, at least as far I can
can tell.  Something similar to "make subtarget".
