Thanks for the many comments.

I've decided to retract this proposal in favor of

   http://zope3.zwiki.org/ZIPImportSupportForZope3

I hope that someone can find time to merge the work already
done on this to the trunk soon so we can start leveraging it.

I think we can ignore, at least for now, the use cases related
to loading files from namespace packages and loading package data
from eggs whos names are different from package names.

I think that more thought needs to go into the filereference API.

I'll have to find a different hack for zope.app.  I'll try to find
time to update that proposal in the next day or so.

I'll also create a separate proposal for loading Python-defined
configuration.
