I would recommend leaving old Zope2 stuff in lib/python and putting all 
Z3-related stuff in a parallel directory called 'src'. That way you can 
run a whole Zope3 checkout in parallel to Zope2. Telling Zope2 about the 
extra python-path shouldn't be a problem through ZConfig (there's a 
directive).
