Impending releases always create panic.  Embrace it as an opportunity

The ZEO _tests_ set up their own asyncore mainloop.  If you think
about it, it has to be that way, else we couldn't run the ZEO tests
from a standalone ZODB checkout.

There is a problem, but it in one sense it's shallow:  it only takes a
few lines of code to set up an asyncore mainloop ZEO is maximally
happy with.  The hard part for Jim will be figuring out where to put
them ;-)  The deeper problem is that ZEO _ever_ relied on "someone
else" to set up a mainloop; Jim sent a note about that to zodb-dev
today (ZEO should change to set up its own asyncore cruft).
