We talked about this in one of our meetings :)

Having the toolchain inside the ztk-versions.cfg makes it easier to
extend the ZTK. Zope 2 just has to use a single extends= line and Grok
just two (for the additional zopeapp-versions.cfg).

Since we all use the toolchain anyways, we didn't see a point in
separating them out.
