Sorry for replying to this so late, I only stumbled upon this recently.

While I agree that the sys.modules/sys.path mangling was bad, this now
raises the problem of correctly stitching in pullparser and ClientForm
into Zope 2. Unfortunately, svn:externals doesn't work with files, so
we'll have to make copies. They will have to be updated whenever
pullparser and ClientForm have been updated and a newer Zope 3 is
stitched in.
