Sounds great.  I do have one question, though.  Does this work with Python 
2.2.2?  If not, I can't put it in PEAK yet.  :(  However, if the changes 
could be made conditional upon Python 2.3 and ZODB3.3 being present, then 
I'd happily accept a patch.

Yeah, you might be best off hacking setup.py to use 'extra_path' for the 
time being.
