Tim's right; the setup.py in the ZODB Subversion repository is used only for 
working with a checkout.  I'll be working on making things more similar in 
the two environments to avoid accidental differences.

I'm not aware of any direct application of the zdctl.py / zdrun.py "scripts"; 
all applications I'm familiar with treat these as library code.

If there are external requirements for these scripts, it will be easy enough 
to keep them available; let me know and I'll make the necessary changes to 
the zdaemon package.

Ok, that settles it.  I'll get them back into zdaemon tomorrow so whenever Tim 
releases another beta they should be back.
