Provided that any access to a package relative resource
is converted from "dirname(__file__)" to "package_home"
logic to use or not use "pypackage" could be localized in "package_home"
and (maybe) "OFS.Application.get_products".

"__path__" is a string in a frozen application.
It is likely that any software part that uses "__path__"
currently asumes it to be a list.

Any product that tries the change the current directory to 
lie in a ZIP archive or execatable will observe that this
is impossible.
