Don't do anything by hand; use buildout.  And since WebServerAuth was 
originally intended for use with Plone, it does not appear to 
`install_requires` CMFCore and/or PluggableAuthService (which it 
probably should).

This works for me at least enough to start Zope2:

---

[buildout]
extends = https://raw.github.com/pythonpackages/buildout-zope2/master/2.13.x

[zope2]
eggs +=
    Products.CMFCore
    Products.PluggableAuthService
    Products.WebServerAuth

---


Lastly, you'll likely need to replace your acl_users with a PAS e.g.:
