Depends on where the actual tarballs are located.  The URL which gets
pointed to via 'easy_install --index <url>' has to be a "PyPI simple"
index, not just a listing of tarballs.

If we put *all* tarballs in '/Zope2', *never* removing or replacing one,
then we could have the index be named for the release number.
Otherwise, we could put the exact tarballs for a given release into a
directory named for the release, e.g. '/Zope2/2.12.0a3/, and then create
the "PyPI simple" index structure at '/Zope2/2.12.0a3/index'.

That box is the same as svn.zope.org / cvs.zope.org, with the virtual
host served from /var/www/download.zope.org.  I think contributors have
rights to scp files into some parts of that tree, but might need help
creating the top-level directories from somebody with more privileges.
