I've added something like this too now; let me know if it's what you
had in mind::

>>> pprint(package_includes('BCPackage'))
{'configure.zcml': ['F.H'], 'meta.zcml': ['testdirective', 'F.G', 'F.H']}

I think this should be all the info you need to construct either full
filepaths to required ZCML or all the <include> directives you'd need
to write to get the required packages.  Not sure if a module name like
"b.c" would be preferable as input rather than "BCPackage" but this
was a bit easier for me to figure out while trying to slog through
setuptools.  :P
