Thanks for this info, Gary. I've been looking into including at least 
Zope 3's interfaces and adapters in Zope 2, but I had trouble getting 
the wrapper Interface package to work. With these instructions I hope I 
can manage to set them up.

I guess for my purposes Zope 2.8 would be better suited. Since I'm 
looking to go into production relatively soon, Zope 2.7 would be better, 
and it's actually possible to use Zope 3 interfaces in Zope 2.7 without 
the wrapper Interface package if Zope 3 interfaces are shared to avoid 
using the __implements__ attribute. Since this is private now, it's easy 
enough to change this.
