Log message for revision 107331:
  Improve the buildout-based instance setup section:
  
   * mention plone.recipe.zope2instance, which is more convenient for people

   * correct the name of the mistyped 'log' subdir.
  
   * more explicitly mention that the zope.conf excerpt provided here is just
     that: an excerpt, and not a complete minimalistic zope.conf.
