I'm too lazy now to search in archives, so I'll just describe again.
For example, the zope.password package only requires zope.interface to
be functional. But it's configure.zcml contains directives that need
zope.component (or repoze.zcml) and zope.security. Also, the zcml
thing itself needs zope.configure as well. Should we mention it in
extra dependencies somehow or just document it, saying that zcml is
intented to be used in more zope3-ish environment that already has
needed packages, so others can simply ignore these files.
