[ OT: How do I generate a static web site from Zope, so that I can serve it
  somewhere else? ]

To the point:

Both Zope and IC are awfully flexible. But there should be very much
less of a Python vs. Perl problem with Zope today since (afaik) as of
2.5.1, Zope can run mixed Python and Perl code. Only, since I'm not
up to speed with Zope yet, I don't know _how_.

I guess that this is the question: How to mix the various middleware
systems - IC lumped together with Zope, Midgard and what have you
here - in one application. It appears that several people have similar
problems here.

Yes, at least if you need to manage these separately and are not
able to manage your IC pages eg. within Zope.
