Zope complains that it doesn't want root privs and says you need an 
effective-user setting.  First I tried sudo -u plone setupSite.py (the 
postinstall script runs as root inside the installer process on osx) 
but the installer process hung because it was waiting for a password to 
be entered for sudo.  Then I tried setting the effective-user, but it 
seems that part of Zope is broken, it would pick up the flag properly 
but it fails calling initgroups.initgroups (initgroups is a .so).
