I finally got around to testing this, and it works *exactly* as I hoped. 
I downloaded Z3 from CVS, and Tim's zip file.

I unpacked the zip file into the Z3 directory, and it started the first 
time.

I don't know about others, but I don't need anything more than this.

If either Chris or Tim would put that structure up at a saner location, 
I will write a How-to about it.

Basically I just need a web adress that stays current to use in the 
How-to, so that I could point to somewhere like:

http://zope.org/Members/tim_one/z3builds


Where they could get the latest zip file.
