The problem was that I assumed that like the other products, Quills
was a single product, but in fact, the distro tarball includes a
number of packages required (?) for it. So even renaming it didn't
work. I needed to unpack the included packages (basesyndication/
fatsyndication/ plonetrackback/ Quills/ RPCAuth/) at the Product
level. there was no file in there to indicate that to a newbie such
as myself, so I assumed that like the other Products, you just stuck
the top level dir in the Products dir.
