Yes, I noticed that too. I think the current situtation is way too 
confusing. We should decide which the authoritative source for the eggs 
is, the CheeseShop or http://download.zope.org/distribution. The 
advantage of the latter is that everybody with checkin rights can 
release a new egg, whereas on the CheeseShop it takes access rights.

Great. So we have zope.interface and zope.proxy and there'll be no need 
for zope.thread. Which leaves us with:

http://download.zope.org/distribution/zope.security-3.4.0b2.tar.gz
http://download.zope.org/distribution/zope.app.container-3.5.0a1.tar.gz
http://download.zope.org/distribution/zope.hookable-3.4.0a1.tar.gz
http://download.zope.org/distribution/zope.i18nmessageid-3.4.0a1.tar.gz

I realize that those aren't final releases, but they (most probably) 
haven't changed significantly after these releases were made, which 
would make it a waste of time if I had to tag and tarball them just for 
the sake of a different version ID.

Thanks again

P.S.: While looking around, I found that an ancient version of 
zope.security actually exists as a Win32 egg on the CheeseShop: 
http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/zope.security/3.4dev-r73262.
I wonder why my Windows buildout didn't find it. Perhaps the egg doesn't 
satisfy a version dependency?
