---------------

      After extracting the *.tgz* file, "cd" to the resulting
      directory and, using the Python binary you compiled beforehand,
      invoke the Python script which compiles Zope.  This script is
      cryptically named "wo_pcgi.py".  "wo_pcgi" stands for "without
      PCGI", an artifact of Zope's web server integration roots, the
      meaning of which is largely unimportant today.::

        chrism at saints:~$ cd Zope-2.5.1-src                           
        chrism at saints:~/Zope-2.5.1-src$ python2.1 wo_pcgi.py
        --------------------------------------------------------------------
        Deleting '.pyc' and '.pyo' files recursively under /home/chrism/Zope-2.5.1-src...
        Done.

        --------------------------------------------------------------------
        Compiling python modules
        --------------------------------------------------------------------

        Building extension modules
        cp ./lib/python/Setup20 ./lib/python/Setup

        ------------------------------------------------
        Compiling extensions in lib/python
        cp /home/chrism/lib/python2.1/config/Makefile.pre.in .
        make -f Makefile.pre.in boot PYTHON=
        rm -f *.o *~
        rm -f *.a tags TAGS config.c Makefile.pre python sedscript
        rm -f *.so *.sl so_locations
        VERSION=` -c "import sys; print sys.version[:3]"`; \

        (..and so on until...)

        --------------------------------------------------------------------
        creating default inituser file
        Note:
                The initial user name and password are 'admin'
                and 'w!YzlsDT'.

                You can change the name and password through the web
                interface or using the 'zpasswd.py' script.

        chmod 0600 /home/chrism/Zope-2.5.1-src/inituser
        --------------------------------------------------------------------

        Done!

         Maybe this part should contain some notes on how to create an "instance home". Or some hint that an instance
         home should be made.
