For now I won't go for the bonus points. I've added to my TODO list to
setup a windows virtual machine and write an exception for UNIX domain
sockets in windows. I'll have more time next week.

OK, I'll start simple:

I think it's a great opportunity. I could spend ~1 hour every day like
I'm doing these days but I don't know if my programming level will be
good enough for ZEO development with just 1 hour per day. I will
surely try.

Let me know if there is any other bug or something else you'd like me
to have a look at.
