You could just use this:

http://static.repoze.org/zcmldocs/

and

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/repoze.zcml/0.1

It allows subscriber, adapter, and utility directives.  It also disuses the
global component registry (it does not call provideInterface; this may need to
be revisited, as honestly I'm not sure I even understand what provideInterface
does).
