You want to look at the "include" directive. It is in 
zope.configuration.xmlconfig starting on line 290. There the file is simply 
treated as a bytesline instead a path, which I think is the way to go. It 
also shows you how to merge the package info and the path part.

BTW, I am all for doing this enhancement.
