OK, on my FreeBSD 4.4 box checking out from CVS works fine, running 
stupid_build.py seems ok, but then what?

Running "python z3.py" seems to start a server, but when trying to 
access it with a simple http://foobar:8080/ you get prompted for a 
userid/password.  What is it, or where do you set it?  Something in 
principals.zcml?

And if you could get in, what would the server serve?  The "var" 
directory doesn't exist after checkout (looks empty in the CVS web 
interface)

This is one of those maddening deals where you feel like something 
should work, but nobody wrote down the crucial final step, or hid it 
away somewhere non-obvious.  Those old Zope2 documents in the "doc" 
folder, especially "INSTALL.txt" which doesn't seem to apply at all are 
almost cruel :)
