Thanks Martin, your pointer set me on the track. Building Zope now works
fine.

However, buildout derails shortly afterwards:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Generated script 'E:\\buildout\\plone4coredev\\bin\\mkzopeinstance'.
Generated script 'E:\\buildout\\plone4coredev\\bin\\runzope'.
  File "E:\buildout\plone4coredev\bin\mkzopeinstance.exe", line 1
SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\x90' in file
E:\buildout\plone4coredev\bin\mkzopeinstance.exe on line 1, but no encoding
declared;
see http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html for details
While:
  Installing instance.

An internal error occured due to a bug in either zc.buildout or in a
recipe being used:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File
"e:\buildout\plone4coredev\eggs\zc.buildout-1.4.1-py2.6.egg\zc\buildout\buildout.py",
line 1659, in main
    getattr(buildout, command)(args)
  File

"e:\buildout\plone4coredev\src\plone.recipe.zope2instance\src\plone\recipe\zope2instance\__init__.py",
line 88, in install
    ) == 0
AssertionError
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Could the cause be, that I'm not using "setuptools" but "distribute"
(distribute-0.6.6-py2.6.egg, 32 bit Python, Windows 7) ? This worked fine on
Linux, but on Windows some black magic involving generated *.exe /
*-script.py files seems to fail.
