Stefan, thanks for your reply.
In the meanwhile I was indeed able to put products in INSTANCE/Products (Zope 2.13.8). I did not know about that option you mention and I cannot check it now, but the Products from pypi were being recognised, as long as I put only the specific Product subfolder (not the whole pypi package which contains "cruft" for eggs, whatever else, I still don't fully understand).
However, with ZSQL Methods, the situation is different. It contains the specific ZSQL Methods folder, but also Shared/DC/ZRDB. When loading, Zope complains it can't find the module ZRDB/Search.py (or something like that).
So, ZSQLMethods depends on Shared, but Share is not being recognised (or at least not yet processed before ZSQL). How can I fix this? Somehow I guess the pypi package should be made an egg and dropped in lib/python2.6, and somehow configured. I couldn't yet find instructions on doing this for Zope.
I've been trying to read about this whole new procedure[s] (setup tools, buildout, eggs, virtualenv, ???), but I have the impression the situation has been changing and it's quite hard to figure out what makes sense or works right now.
I suggest using http://pypi.python.org/pypi/plone.recipe.zope2instance (it is not Plone specific) and referring to the Plone documentation for installing add-ons: http://plone.org/documentation/kb/add-ons/installing Laurence
