I looked at the Zope 2 recipe briefly and thought it only fiddlest with
PYTHONPATH in bin/runzope.bat.  I don't really understand the other issue
with Unix specific threading that you mention.

First off, I think ploneenv would need to modify the runzope.bat script so
that it calls the activate script before startup.
