Fun AND worthwhile, but DON'T uninstall 1.5.2 itself -- RedHat has
some stuff that depends on it specifically, I hear (not an issue for
other Linux distros, just a RH-specific one).  Can't help you with
Zope (I believe it needs 2.1.* currently) nor Pmw/Blt.  Postgres
(with psycopg) seems fine under 2.1.* or 2.2.* just as well.
