There's this draft proposal; I guess it's time for me to finish this:

    http://zope3.zwiki.org/ZIPImportSupportForZope3

This reflects work I did at the Goldegg packaging sprint in San Jose.
The changes from the branch should be easy to move forward if people
agree that it's a reasonable approach.  It offers the advantages that
1) there's already code, with tests, and 2) it works with all imports
from ZIP files, not just eggs.
