[z3-five] Reintegrating Zope 3 (was Re: RFC: Five 1.2 and 1.3 release plan)

[Jim Fulton]

I was about to start working on integrating the new test runner
and was reminded that we need to integrate Zope differently than we did
for 2.8/3.0.  Then, we took advantage of the fact that packages not included
in the Zope X3 3.0 release were trimmed from the corresponding branch.
This didn't happen for 3.1 and isn't going to happen moving forward.

For starters, I'm going to give Zope 2 it's own zope directory.
(I'm also going to use the pkgutil mechanism:

   file:///home/jim/Documentation/Python-Docs-2.3.3/lib/module-pkgutil.html

  which was added for us. :)

Then I'm going to use externals to get the packages we use,
initially from whatever tag z2 is using now.  I will then change
zope.testing to use a newer revision or tag.

Before the 1st, we need to sort out what we're going to do about zope.app.
I think it's about time for us to start making zope.app a lot smaller --
meaning that we should think about that for the June release.
