The PKG-INFO is generated by distutils; if you run "setup.py sdist", the 
resulting distribution will contain PKG-INFO.

The file isn't needed to register with PyPI though; distutils handles that 
directly rather than requiring the PKG-INFO file to exist.  I've been 
registering the Zope X3 releases using simply "install.py register" (or 
"setup.py register" when the configure/make wrapper isn't used).

The distribution layout is definately different.  The layout is mandated by 
Jim.  The model is that a Zope distribution is similar to a Linux 
distribution: there's some bootstrap code at the top, and then a pile of 
packages that get installed.
