Especially when we just had a discussion in Zope3-dev where the
conclusion was that we wanted to extend __path__ to solve a certain
problem with separate distribution of self-contained subpackages of
the zope package.

I'll read the whole thread tomorrow (when I'm back to work) and will
comment more then.
