How about a Bobo Product that allows you to add a Bobo module from any
place in the filesystem to anywhere in your Zope hierarchy. This is much
more flexible and would provide you with a marker that your external code
was in the Zope namespace. Call it "External Module"

Very easy to write, I bet. If no one has written this by this week end,
I'll do it!
