The current plan is to only have one version of the ZTK packaged at a
time. Basically by only uploading the python-zope.* versions that
correspond to the ZTK version we want to package.

We may deviate (very slightly) from the ZTK for bugfixes.

I'm planning to make some time in the near future to prepare packages
that correspond to the ZTK 1.1.
