Right. The thought is that it will make things a little easier for site admins
as there will be a standard place to look for Zope add-on products.

Note that we will probably arrange to allow multiple ZopeProducts
directories to be knit together into a single package. That is, the
ZopeProducts package path will include all of the ZopeProducts directories
found in the Python path, in the same order.

We will probably also do this for the Zope package.
