I've made changes to the ZODB setup.py and I've remove the  
'transaction' directory from ZODB/src.  The changes also imply that  
setuptools is required to run setup.py, and the 'transaction'  
distribution is named as an install_requires dependency.  Setuptools  
is now required to install the ZODB head.  I made a tag before I did  
this at http://svn.zope.org/ZODB/tags/before_transaction_remove/ in  
case I hosed anything in the process.
