If you want to change your Zope controller to work with 2.7, I think you'll either be very happy (or very disappointed, seeing how much work you put in to creating your own config files) to know that Zope 2.7+ instances have their own configuration file which has a syntax patterned after an Apache configuration file; the parsing system uses the ZConfig package (http://www.zope.org/Members/fdrake/zconfig/). I have attached the zope.conf.in file that represents a valid Zope instance configuration file.
I'm both disappointed and happy for the same reason :) When 2.7 will be out i'll adapt my zopectl to the new Zope installation procedure.

That's not big deal: I'll manage instance operation trough instance specific zopectl script.
I'd love to see your zopectl system work with Zope 2.7, and though I [...] If you want it to support Zope 2.7, I'd be happy to answer any questions about the new installation/startup process.
I'll keep it a separate package, and i surely take advantage of your help.

I'll most probably do in this way.
Support for installing docs to a specific directory is no big deal. I'll add it to the Zope 2.7 TODO.
Sounds cool.
I'd advise against installing Zope library files into site-packages unless you put them in a site-packages subdirectory (like site-packages/zope270 or site-packages/zope271).
I'll keep this in mind.
If you can provide specific direction on how to make the Zope source tarball installer service your goals better, I'll be happy to try to implement any suggestions given that it makes sense in the larger cross-platform context.
