Actually, the Unified Installer is what got me started down this road. An
RPM of the installer would be cool, but then I thought it would be even
better if I had separate RPMs for each component.  That way, I wouldn't
have to rebuild the whole thing to update Python, Zope, or Plone.  The
Unified Installer script starts with zlib. There's a stock RPM already
available for that, so I didn't bother. Python 2.4 is the next step and
the install script looked so simple that I didn't think building an RPM
would be too hard. Now, after working on it for two days, I'm thinking
otherwise.  I'm guessing I'm just making a dumb mistake somewhere though.
