[Zope] Zope 2.10b2 build issue

[Pascal Peregrina]

Again, if you read my hack in my initial mail, you'll see that the issue is
with the python path (I run make in a temporary "build" directory and the
untared Zope source is elsewhere)... So no, my source file is NOT
corrupted...

Let me explain again. In setup.py there is this (nasty) code:
sys.path.insert(0, 'inst')
import versions
del sys.path[0]

In my case, this fails because the "inst" directory is not a subdirectory of
my temporary "build" directory.

So if I fix the path to "inst" with this in setup.py (I copy/pasted this
code from one of my own python scripts):

try:
    MAKEFILEDIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
except:
    MAKEFILEDIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(sys.argv[0]))
sys.path.insert(0, '%s/inst'%MAKEFILEDIR)
import versions
del sys.path[0]

...it works fine.

Does it make sense now?

This (nasty) code in setup.py does not exist in Zope 2.8.4
