It wouldn't be difficult to add something similar to Zope 2's "path"
setting:

      This specifies additional paths directories which are inserted
      into the beginning of Python's module search path.  The set of
      directories specified is inserted into the beginning of the
      module search path in the order which they are specified here.
      Note that the processing of this directive may happen too late
      under some circumstances; it is recommended that you use the
      PYTHONPATH environment variable if using this directive doesn't
      work for you.

Note that this is different from the "products" setting; that modified
Products.__path__, while the "path" setting modifies sys.path.  Zope 3
simply doesn't have an equivalent to Zope 2's Products package, and it
doesn't need one.

I'm happy to add a "path" setting matching this description, however.
