The metaConfigure.py needs to move too. That was an oversight of mine.

Anything outside of zope.app needs to be usable outside of the
application server. This means it should have no dependencies on zope.app.
In addition, anything outside os zope.app should have mimimal dependencies on
other zope packages.

There should be no zcml in packages outside of zope.app and zope.configure.

OK. So, there should be no zcml outside of zope.app and zope.configure. :)

Would you mind documenting this somewhere?

Right.  We need to move the metaConfigure modules for these. Would you mind
moving these?
