Absolutely:  upgrade to Windows and it still looks the same <wink>.

I don't understand it either, but I've been working on ZODB, not the
packaging.  It looks like the scheme is designed to make it impossible to do
anything with a tarball release except grep it and run its setup.py (or, in
the Zope X3 release, install.py).  But maybe that turns out to be a good
thing down the road, when packages get combined in creative ways.  In the
meantime, you're free to fork ZODB <wink>.
