I don't mind doing this for a SERVER_NAME in the response, but looking 
at the diff from the commit email you also changed the startup message 
from Zope 2 with this change. That is the bit I find problematic: I want 
to be able to immediately see if the Zope instance is bound to a 
specific IP address or ANY/0.0.0.0.
