As I understand the Extensions directory, there's currently only
support for one such directory for an instance; it's not a search path
at all.  For products, it *is* a search path, and the paths specified
by the "products" configuration field are added to that search path
(you can specify more than one in the configuration by including more
than one "products" line in zope.conf).  There's no way to *remove*
the <instance>/Products directory.

Whether or not Extensions should be a search path instead of a
directory, I don't know.  It doesn't seem entirely unreasonable, but a
patch for Zope 2.8 would make it much more likely to happen.
