The browser:resourceDirectory works for me, here is eg. the 
'configure.zcml' of a package that just holds files and folders::

   <configure
       xmlns="http://namespaces.zope.org/zope"
       xmlns:browser="http://namespaces.zope.org/browser"
       i18n_domain="zope"
       >

   <browser:resourceDirectory
     directory="."
     name="staticfolder"
     />

   </configure>

zope.app.publisher.browser.directoryresource has a mapping of 
file-extensions to resource_factories.
