[Zope-Coders] silly windows request

I got a bit further on Windows.

I checked in changes that fixed all the redundant CRLF line endings I
found in your tree.

I gave up on the configure.bat file.  I gave all the special commands
a @ prefix (e.g. echo became @echo), which fixed the "Bad command"
errors, but I didn't know what to do with the "for" command that also
mystified Tim.

So instead I ran inst\configure.py as recommended.  Each tool gave me
instructions on what to do, and this generally worked.  I picked
C:\zope as my zope home as well as instance home.  The last command
that completed successfully was make_instance.py.  This told me to run
C:\zope\bin\zctl.py, but when I run that, I get

ImportError: No module named Controller

What could I have done wrong?  (It doesn't seem to make a difference
what arguments I give to zctl.py.)

This waw on Win98 SE, with Python 2.3a0 (i.e. recent CVS trunk).
