Bug Description
Python needs a run-time egg cache for some eggified products. It will normally use a .python-eggs subdirectory of $HOME, but Zope is often used in a context in which the effective user has no home directory.
Proposal: Add to the zope skeleton an egg-cache directory, possibly as a subdirectory of var; add code to zopectl and runzope to use the PYTHON_EGG_CACHE environment variable to point to the cache directory.

We have dealt with egg caches via using zc.buildout. The egg cache setup is something general and shouldn't be mixed into two specific scripts in Zope2. This would cause lots of other scripts to miss this (like ZEO's zeoctl, repozo, test runners, ...).
