I tested on windows with no compilers installed. Installation works for
both Python2.4 and 2.5. During the setup the easy_install prints these
warnings:

***************************************************************************
WARNING: The C extension could not be compiled, speedups are not enabled.
Failure information, if any, is above.
I'm retrying the build without the C extension now.
***************************************************************************
***************************************************************************
WARNING: The C extension could not be compiled, speedups are not enabled.
Plain-Python installation succeeded.
***************************************************************************

(I wish zope3 could do that too, especially zope.interface implements
its C extensions optional anyway but forces a compilation).

Michael
