This is a symptom of getting the wrong ZConfig version.  This setup
requires 2.3.1, which is part of the Zope 3 checkout on the trunk.

This is surprising.  The sys.path.insert(0, ...) line (which you
removed) was intended to avoid the append.  Your solution should
result in the same sys.path.

Are you running on Unix/Linux, or Windows?  Tim did notice a problem
that was fixed by setting up sys.path differently when using the zpkg
command-line tool as well, but that was very specific to how Python
sets up sys.path when running a script.
