[Zope-ZEO] ZEO patches for NT

An NT service would be appropriate in a production environment
where you want ZEO serving a specific database full time on a machine.
Nothing wrong than that, but some ZEO apps may need more flexibility.

Sorry, I didn't mean that one as a suggestion. It's just what I did to make it work.

oops, I was copying it from an uninstalled zope directory, and only pyc files were left.
But it's the same problem with asyncore.py

No error. The server starts ok. The client just hangs up. Here's the client code:

    from ZEO import ClientStorage
    from ZODB import DB
    storage = ClientStorage.ClientStorage( ('localhost', 7654) )
    db = DB( storage )  #HANGS UP HERE
    conn = db.open()
    dbroot = conn.root()
    print dbroot['www']

But if smac.py uses "from ZServer.medusa import asyncore",
it works fine. I see that ZServer.__init__ does all sorts of magical
stuff, but I don't know which incantation does the trick.

Thanks.
