If you like ZConfig, feel free to use it.  :)  If for some reason you 
should need to access this kind of configuration from ZCML, you can always 
create a ZCML tag that reads a ZConfig file, since ZConfig is included in 
Zope 3.  In this way, your code will be usable either with or without Zope 3.
