Unfortunately, it doesn't seem an option, right now, to avoid using ZCML to setup database connections. So I'm not sure how you want to implement your ideas?

collective.lead can do it without ZCML; you set up the right connection by implementing a 'url' property on a (global) utility. This to me seems to be flexible, as the code could get the connection from anywhere. Regards, Martijn
