Make check-outs more like release (Re: [Zope3-dev] Re: Zope 3.0, and why ...

[Jim Fulton]

BTW, I think we should make checkouts more like the release.
It's a pain to give two sets of instructions.  We have to give
2 sets anyway, but some of the differences are gratuitous.

I propose:

- To rename src to lib/python in the repository

- To explain that checkouts *are* different. They are like
   in-place software installs.  (Though perhaps we could have
   a working configure that can set the python used by the make
   file.)  "make" and "make install" would do the same thing,
   the later remining the user that check outs always build in
   place.

- Make instances the normal usage patterns *even* for checkouts.

I think that this would make it a lot easier to clean up the documentation.

Thoughts? Volunteers? :)
