Thanks for these results.

The recurring number of 77 dependencies is suspicious. No doubt the 
various zope.app packages with their huge amount of dependencies are 
behind this. Apparently, those 77 eggs are the minimal Zope3 
installation we can do from eggs.

This demonstrates very well that we could just as well have kept large 
parts of zope.app (the ones that are among those 77 eggs) in one big egg 
and made our lives a lot easier.
