We are using pcgi with independent Zope components without problems -
the pcgi documentation is quite good and the new names for the Zope
components don't really matter.

The independent Zope components can also be used as before with Bobo,
at least for the python-only versions. To use the full versions -
including the C extensions and C modules - we do a full installation of
Zope and then point to Zope's lib/python/ directory in the PCGI_INSERT_PATH
variable of the pcgi info file.
